Barszcz czerwony recipe (Beetroot Soup)

Yeast? Will any yeast do the trick? Is ten days really necessary? If it can be a little volatile, I suppose a large container may be a good idea.


A very ugly, but a very good and underrated vegetable.


Juice?

Merged: Recipe request: clear, spicy barszcz

Perhaps the best soup I've ever had was in a Krakow restaurant--a clear, somewhat spicy barszcz, with dumplings. I think it's a fairly standard Polish soup.

Can you please supply a recipe? Very much appreciated!

got search?

Looks like a winner! Thank you!

All I need is some carrots, some parsley root and some sauerkraut juice.

The only troubles are that I don't think the parsley I see in the greengrocer's has roots attached (or should I look in the herbs and spices section?) and that, although I have an unopened jar of sauerkraut knocking around somewhere, I'm not sure what the juice is supposed to be. Will this be obvious when I open the jar or will I be even more confused.

Stupid goat will probably try to eat the lid off the sauerkraut jar.

Making zakwas buraczany (beetroot sour) is a normal Polish culinary procedure but usually a slice or crust of whole-rye bread is added to the fermenation solution instead of the yeast.

Koziołek - don't bother wiht sauerkraut juice; go for vinegar, but don't use too much of it.
Vinegar (usually clear/white) is added at the end of cooking otherwise the vegs won't cook properly.
But i am not sure now if it is added before or after 'whitening' 'zabielanie' of the soup (i.e. mixing some sour cream into the soup) 'whitening' is optional though

i'm not that much of a cook anyway

Can anyone give me the recipe for red beet borscht. My Polish grandmother makes it with pork chops and grated beets.

Once I used to have red borsch quite often, very thick with beans, sausage, pork, cereal, spices etc. Now I am less prone coz I drink home-made fermented beetroot juice every morning.

I really feel like having barszcz z uszkami :D

Oh yeah, Christmas is coming. Time for my favourite meal of the year :)

@Lenka
Well, actually we have barszcz z grzybami on Christmas Eve :) and as for barszcz z uszkami we have it with meat not necessarilly on 24th December. I actually like the flavour of the soup mixed with meat. I've never had it with mushrooms :)

I really need to make some but I don't really like making uszka :P

We have barszcz z uszkami but the uszka are mushroom filled. Never had them with meat.

Mushrooms only for Christmas eve, meat for the rest of the year.
