think, not Russian...rather Ukrainian! but very good recipe!!!

I'm from Ukraine, it's a motherland of borshch. I can tell you, how to prepare real borshch. My english is not perfect, but i'll try to explain recipe good.

1. Take a red beet, cut it on straws. Then cut a few (2-3) carrots on cubes. Cut one big onion on half-rings. Put this mass on pan, add a few spoons of tomato paste and 2-3 grated tomatoes (tomato puree). Stew it with sunflower oil till readiness.

2. Fill a casserole with meat decoction or water till a half level and put it on gas. Cut 2-3 potatoes on cubes and put it in boiling water. When potato will be near readiness, put a mass from pan to casserole. Add here boiled beans, sliced root of parsley, a half-rings of sweet pepper. Cook it 10 minutes on low fire. Cut some cabbage (as much as you wish) and add it to casserole. Borshch must be thick. Cook it 10 mins. Turn the fire off.

3. Take a much of parsley and cut it. Then cut 2-3 pieces of garlic. Put borshch to plate, add parsley and garlic. If you want you can add a spoon of sour cream. Eat it with dark bread and green onion.

Best regards.
Your Alexander.
