- The beef for borscht should include not just meat but also cartilage and even tendons — don't try to pick the tendons out, as they give body to the broth. Cook the meat in one whole piece until it starts pulling away from the bone. Once the water has boiled well, add salt. Take the cooked meat out, set it on a plate, and cover it. Cut the beet, carrot, and cabbage into thin strips and dice the onion and potatoes. Drop the potatoes into the broth first, then the cabbage. Put the beet in a skillet to fry in the butter, then add the tomato paste and vinegar and let it cook down for another 5 minutes. In a separate skillet, fry the onion and carrot in oil and add the diced tomato. Dice the lard (or salt pork) small and fry it well too. Add the beet, the onion-and-carrot mixture, the lard, and the meat (cut into small pieces) to the broth with the nearly-done potatoes and cabbage. When the borscht comes to a boil, throw in the minced garlic and parsley. Take it off the heat, half-cover it with a lid, and let it rest for half an hour. Pampushki are served alongside. A heads-up: this is a pretty rich meal, so dieters may want to steer clear. For the pampushki, mix a basic yeast dough, let it rise twice, shape it into balls, set them on a greased baking sheet, let them proof, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes. As soon as the pampushki are done, drizzle them with garlic sauce. For the garlic sauce, mince the garlic, mash it with salt and vegetable oil, then thin it with hot water.
