Even in the post, you should not deny yourself a plate of hot borscht! Even sitting on a strict diet, in which it is allowed to eat only vegetables and then – in small quantities, the food can remain tasty and healthy. Moreover, most traditional dishes can be lean, such as, for example, everyone's favorite borscht. You don't need to buy any meat or sugar seeds for it. Let's try to cook lean borscht for adherents of vegetarianism.

To begin with, cut the peeled potatoes into even cubes, put them in a saucepan, pour water and leave to cook for ten minutes. At this time, we cut the well-peeled carrots and beets into strips or, if a grater is preferable, three all on a large grater. We cut onion and sweet bell pepper into half rings, thinly chop cabbage. Carrots, beets, peppers and onions are placed in neat piles in a frying pan, in which the heated oil is already located, and fry so that the colors of these products do not mix. In this case, our borscht will turn out more beautiful. Before the end of frying, add pepper and salt to taste. Add cabbage to the already partially boiled potatoes, and after three minutes – our fragrant roast. Cook for 5-7 minutes and then pour in the juice from the pickled beetroot (which can be replaced with tomatoes).
We lower the washed bay leaf and cloves into the pan, if you like its taste. When the borscht boils, remove it from the stove and let it stand under the lid for 20-30 minutes. Then we pour it on plates and feed the family members. This recipe, among other things, will help to lose extra pounds.
