Borscht with mushroom broth
Home / Irina Frik’s culinary blog / First course / Borscht with mushroom broth
Today, according to numerous requests from the reading public, the time has come for “Lenten borscht”. This wonderful dish was prepared in our family by grandmothers and great-grandmothers, and my mother contributed. I remember when I prepared it for the first time, she advised me on everything (I was in fourth grade then).
Mom kept repeating that the main thing is that the kitchen is clean. Then she said that her heart was bleeding when, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that I had peeled the carrots, washed the floors in the kitchen, cut the beets, and washed them again... that is, in my opinion, cleanliness was constant wet cleaning. In general, I worked really hard to cook my first borscht. My parents said that it turned out very tasty. Today I’ll cook some kind of two-thousandth borscht - for sure. Because the dish is very tasty and my family loves it immensely.
Let's get started: in the evening we need to do two things - sort and soak the beans, and, if we use dried mushrooms, then rinse them thoroughly and also add water. In both the first and second cases, the water should be cold. The next day we start cooking: if the water in which the beans were soaked is not completely absorbed, then it is safely drained, and the beans are washed again and put on fire. They need to be boiled to such a state that the outside of the beans still holds its shape, but the inside is already soft. When we remove it from the stove, the first preparation for our borscht is ready.
Do not pour out the water in which the mushrooms were soaked (it becomes dark). Strain thoroughly (you can even use cheesecloth) - this is the basis for the soup. Mushrooms, of course, will also be needed. But, since not everyone has dried ones, you can safely use frozen ones, which were collected and cooked in the summer; fresh champignons (which will need to be boiled first, but be sure to discard the water), canned chopped mushrooms (just not salted or pickled). By the way, if you don’t have time to cook and soak beans, you can also buy a jar of white (or red, it doesn’t matter) in its own juice or tomato sauce. The water where it was will have to be drained, and the beans will be thrown into a colander and rinsed thoroughly with water. Thus, we will lose at least part of the preservatives that the manufacturer has prepared for our consumption by putting vegetables in a jar.
Before us are boiled beans and the same mushrooms, cut into small strips. One small beet, one carrot, an onion, a stalk of celery, cabbage - all in the same chopped form. Let's start cooking: take mushroom water as a base - 2 liters (or, if the mushrooms were not dry, use the appropriate bouillon cubes); Bring the existing mushroom broth to a boil, take unrefined sunflower oil and pour a little into the frying pan. Sauté the beets there until they become shiny and place them in the boiling broth. In the same frying pan we saute the carrots and force them to repeat the same fate as the beets. We also send cabbage and beans there, and in a frying pan, at this time, fry the mushrooms and onions. Add two tablespoons of tomato paste to them and simmer thoroughly. As a result, everything goes briskly into the pan, boils together and is soon ready.
I used to add potatoes to this dish, but now I don’t do that. It seems to me that she is superfluous here. But the following are quite appropriate: peppercorns for dressing (a teaspoon), a bay leaf (a couple) and salt. The main thing is not to forget that if we make the soup base in cubes, then they already contain salt. When serving, you can add greens that you like.
Lenten borscht can be eaten hot, but it acquires a special taste only the next day when cold - I highly recommend trying it. Bon appetit to you! And you can send all your wishes and feedback, to which I will certainly listen, to the email address - Thank you!

Mushroom borscht
Continuing the topic of mushroom soups, started in the last issue, I cannot mention our guest today - mushroom borscht.
In general, our ancestors quite often replaced meat in soups or other dishes with mushrooms. This is partly due to different fasts, when you simply cannot eat meat, and partly due to the standard of living. Indeed, meat is expensive, and the forest is nearby - so our enterprising ancestors took advantage of this circumstance, especially since mushrooms themselves are also quite a nutritious product.
We enjoy eating hodgepodge with mushrooms, pies with them, various fried variations and, of course, soups. Today I’ll tell you how we made mushroom borscht. The only thing where we deviated from the classic recipe was in the mushrooms themselves. There are plenty of white ones during the day now, but there are plenty of champignons and oyster mushrooms, which we decided to take advantage of.

When the broth is cooked, pour the cabbage into it, bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes:
Now we throw lard, bay leaf and pepper into the borscht, taste, add salt and leave to cook for another fifteen minutes:

Sauté vegetables over medium heat, add tomatoes and simmer for about fifteen minutes. Add spices and herbs to them, cover with a lid.

Mushroom farming
This is an old family recipe for very tasty borscht with mushrooms, it is especially good on hot summer days. This borscht is also suitable for fasting. The process of preparing it is very long and painstaking, but the result will exceed all expectations. For cooking, mushrooms can be used either fresh or dried. Dried porcini mushrooms are best - they add a unique flavor to the dish.Fresh oyster mushrooms are good - in terms of taste, they are not much inferior to the same porcini mushrooms, and you can buy them on the market even in winter. It is not recommended to use champignons - they practically do not add any flavor to the borscht. But still, I repeat, dried porcini mushrooms are best.
Necessary ingredients: - 2 liters of water - 5-6 dried mushrooms or 0.5 kg fresh - 200g white beans - 1 medium-sized beet - 1-2 carrots - 1-2 onions - 1 tbsp tomato puree - 100g sunflower oil - 3- 4 medium potatoes - 200g white cabbage
Before cooking, rinse dried mushrooms thoroughly, then pour cold water for 2-3 hours and boil in it without salt over low heat for one hour.
Fresh mushrooms are boiled in the usual way. Then we remove the mushrooms from the broth, place them in a colander to allow the liquid to drain and cut them into medium-sized pieces - this is important, since the mushroom should be visible in the borscht and felt when eating. White beans are needed because the red bean broth will be cloudy brown and this will spoil the appearance of the borscht. Beans are usually soaked for 2-3 hours before cooking. But you can boil it over low heat without pre-soaking, adding cold water as it boils. This is a more labor-intensive and time-consuming process, but the beans will be more tender and tasty. Peel the beets, chop them into strips, then put them in a deep frying pan, add 50 g of sunflower oil, 100 g of mushroom broth, tomato puree, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of citric acid on the tip, cover and simmer over very low heat for about 1 5-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Pour the mushroom broth into the almost finished beans, bring to a boil and add the stewed beets, cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes.
Place finely chopped carrots and finely chopped onions in a frying pan, add the remaining 50 grams of vegetable oil and simmer over very low heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then add to the cooking borscht and cook for 10-15 minutes. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, add to the borscht and cook for another 15 minutes. Shred the cabbage into chalk strips, it’s more beautiful if the strips are long, add to the borscht, bring to a boil and cook over very low heat for 40 minutes. 5 minutes before the end of cooking, add salt to taste, but it is important not to oversalt, because the salt will take away the flavor of the mushrooms.
Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and cool. After this, the borscht with mushrooms is placed in the refrigerator overnight - this is very important, since during this time it seems to be completely saturated with the mushroom aroma.
The cooking process turned out to be quite long, but when you remove the lid of the pan, the smell of borscht will show that you have not wasted your time. Bon appetit.
