making borscht for the first time today

it's got a load of pasteurised beetroot, a big red onion, turmeric, about 500g of uraguay veal loin, wine vinegar, lots of himalaya salt, a whole clove of garlic

i'm cooking it for an hour at a steady simmer, but i'm not convinced that the vegetables in it will be properly softened up, already tried one slice of the beetroot and it was still kinda crunchy

anyway, it smells delicious, i know i'm gonna like it anyway, at least, better than frying this abomination of immature cow meat for 20 minutes

can't feed this to the cat tho, i think probably something in it will make him reject it so he's gonna have tuna

i'll see how this goes but maybe i will throw some tuna in the next version of this

i can't get over how much salt i need to put in this tho, lol, must be more than 2tsp so far

Good, especially work good salt.

i will post proof of borscht a bit later, but it's definitely needing more than an hour of simmer, i've turned it up to boil now and i think i'll extend it another 30 min

also, i'm a bit disappointed about the colour, it's more like orange than red

If you gonna your beetroot too long it will become brown. It is better to cook some of beetroots whole, peel it and grate then add to bulion made from nice beef. Anyway let me google that for you.

If its hot there where you live consider making Lithuanian cold borsch.

Love Borscht myself too
