Borscht dressing

Where does the perfect borscht begin? With the dressing, of course! We have prepared a recipe for you for the dressing, which you can take out of the refrigerator at any time and throw into the borscht so that it turns out as rich, bright and a little tart as possible. Now all you have to do is prepare the broth and “assemble” your borscht.

How to cook Borscht dressing

Step 1

Borscht dressing

In a frying pan with heated vegetable oil, fry the onion, beetroot and carrot for 7 minutes.

Step 2

Borscht dressing

Garlic and tomato sauce mixed with salt and sugar, add to vegetables when they become soft. Stir and simmer for 60 minutes. Add vinegar 10 minutes before readiness.

Step 3

Borscht dressing

Sterilize the jar, place the dressing in it and close the lid.

Borscht dressing - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute tomato sauce with an equal amount of tomato paste diluted with a little water or vegetable broth. Alternatively, for a completely tomato-free version, increase the amount of beetroot and add a splash of lemon juice for acidity.
Store the sealed, sterilized jar in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and consume within a week. Properly canned and sealed, the unopened jar can last for several months.
Absolutely! This Borscht dressing is completely vegetarian as it's made with vegetable oil and vegetable-based ingredients. Just ensure any broth or stock used in place of water, if needed, is also vegetarian.
Yes, you can freeze it. Allow the dressing to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container, leaving some space for expansion. It will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before use.
It's traditionally used as a base for Borscht soup, but it's also fantastic as a flavorful sauce for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even as a tangy addition to a grain bowl for an extra flavor boost.
Yes, the 60-minute simmer is crucial. It allows the flavors to meld beautifully, the vegetables to break down and thicken the sauce, and it helps to achieve the correct traditional consistency and depth of flavor.
Absolutely! To scale up, simply multiply all the ingredients by your desired factor. Use a larger pot or Dutch oven to accommodate the larger volume. The cooking times, especially the 60-minute simmer, will remain the same.
