RUSSIAN VEGAN BORSCH: FAST AND USEFUL (photo + recipe)

Do you know BORSCH?

Many foreigners associate Russia with BORSCH and Vodka-)) and the bear, yes!))

In fact, borsch is a traditional Ukrainian first dish, but it's very famous in other countries as well. 

Poland, Latvia, Russia,and all post-Soviet countries adore to cook it. There are 1000 variants and recipes of this very dish! Every country and every family change it and create something new.

I've created my own variant - VEGAN BORSCH

I've cooked it for the first time, and I like this very recipe without meat! 

The taste is very delicious, is can be cooked 2-3 times faster than traditional meat borsch, and it's very useful for out nutrition - vegetables are digested in 20-30 min, not 2-6 hours like meat (depending on its kind).

We need:

• beet - the main component that gives a bright ruby color
• cabbage
• Brussels sprouts
• celery
• potato
• tomatoes (if you like)
• garlic
• onion
• green
• salt, pepper
• bay leaf
• dried vegetables (paprika, carrots)
• amaranth loaves (not obligatory, just my choice)

It's VEGAN BORSCH, and we don't need any meat, and vegetable  bouillon is cooked very fast:

1. We put potato, onion and beet

2. When it's ready, we add cabbage, selery, Brussel sprouts

3. In the end we add tomatoes, garliс, dried vegetables (paprika, carrots), bay leaf, pepper and green

4. Before eating we add garlic, some green and amaranth loaves

It takes about 20 min to cook it! 

And the marvelous and useful dinner is ready!
