Vegetarian borscht is a Ukrainian classic that preserves its traditional depth of flavor even without meat. The base of the dish is beetroot, which adds natural acidity and rich flavor, creating a deep aroma. Braised vegetables provide a layered base, bringing every spoonful into the heart of Ukrainian culinary tradition.


Variations

In Podillia, beans are added for protein richness. In Poltava, dumplings are added for extra heartiness. In the South, flour or starch is used for thickness. Mushrooms can be added for extra depth of flavor, or beet-bread kvass for richness.


Secrets of tenderness and flavor

Sauté the beet on low heat until fully soft without burning. Braise the vegetables uncovered to concentrate flavors. Cut the potatoes evenly for uniform cooking. Boil the cabbage for at least 12-15 minutes for optimal tenderness.

Ingredient tips


Use medium-sized, young beets for more tenderness. All vegetables should be fresh and undamaged. Choose neutral-flavored vegetable oil. Add garlic at the end to preserve its aroma.


Small culinary tips

Borscht tastes better the next day when the flavors meld. Serve hot. Add sour cream and herbs just before serving. Store in the refrigerator up to 5 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
