It is hard to find a person who does not love borscht.
A hearty and vibrant borscht already whets the appetite with its appearance. The meal becomes even better when served with black bread, herbs, garlic, and lard. There will definitely be no one indifferent to such a treat.
Every cook has their own secrets for preparing this aromatic soup.
However, few know that its taste can be enhanced with one secret ingredient.
We are talking about sugar.
This product should not be added to the finished dish. It is better to mix it in a small amount during the preparation of the sauté made from beets, tomatoes, or tomato paste, along with other ingredients.
It is not necessary to use a lot — a pinch will be enough.
Why is this important? The thing is that tomatoes or tomato paste do not always have enough sweetness for the dish. However, adding sugar helps to reveal a brighter flavor.
