Note

Ukrainian borsch, but my own, with eggplants.

Borscht is like borscht, nothing special, but eggplants in it,
how family got accustomed! 🔗 Borshchik is lean. You can, of course, and in meat broth, but better not. Let's take pity on our liver once. Moreover, none of those who ate this borscht realized that it was without meat. Cold, in summer - fly away!

Stеrn, honey! Today I cooked borsch with eggplant. I recommend to everyone. I ate 1.5 norms, which is not quite typical for me, since I am not a very big fan of first courses. True, cold beetroot and now your (also cold) borscht with eggplant are in my favor. And most importantly, it does not spoil the remains of the figure. You + 1.

And today I finally cooked borsch with eggplant.
Yummy !!! The truth did not tell her that he was without meat. Let them try first.

Sеrn, everyone really liked the borscht, but I didn't tell anyone but my husband about the lack of meat. He is now trying to lead a healthy lifestyle and it only made him happy. I won't tell my daughter for sure, she is a terrible meat-eater, I'd better say nothing.

[Stеrn]

Stеrn I also cooked borscht with eggplant yesterday, it turns out very tasty, a completely different taste, my question is, what do you think, if you boil fresh eggplants now, dry them and freeze them in the freezer for the winter, will they be usable?

[AJIEHKA]

AJIEHKA , I would freeze fresh eggplants, without preliminary heat treatment. Just cut into cubes and freeze. And when needed, without defrosting, throw it into the roast.
I used to dry eggplants for borscht (and not only for borscht) for the winter.

[Girls]

Girls, do we cook borsch with eggplant today with the whole forum?
Then take me to your company!
I just cooked it, insists. It turned out very tasty, with a "twist"!

Sternochkawhat I want to say. I cooked vegetarian borsch from time to time, but somehow it never occurred to me to put eggplants there. Thank you so much for such a great idea!

I used to dry eggplants for borscht (and not only for borscht) for the winter.

Where else do the dried ones go? Tell me please

Both roasts and caviar can be made and sautéed. You only need to pre-wet like mushrooms

In the freezer topic, the girls first bake the eggplants, skin them, and then freeze them and praise them a lot. I just don't know how about borscht in winter ...

Here Lyulёk tells how to freeze baked eggplants.

Anise , to your health!

Where else do the dried ones go? Tell me please

Since I love eggplant, I used to dry it a lot.
I cut the eggplants into rather large cubes, laid them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and dried them over low heat (more precisely, unfortunately, I can't say, because the oven at that time I had an antediluvian one) in a half-open oven. The main thing is that the eggplants do not burn !!! Then she laid them out on white paper, covered with gauze and kept it that way until completely dry. She kept it in large glass coffee cans.
Added to almost all dishes, except for sweets. In soups, borscht, roast, meat and vegetable sauces. It's awesome to add dried eggplant to stewed cabbage instead of tomato. This is especially convenient if the cabbage is intended for minced meat (there is no excess liquid).
I never soaked eggplants. I just poured a handful not at the end of cooking, but a little earlier, so that the eggplants had time to reach readiness.

Indeed, the dryer is the very thing, and when it was not there I cut the eggplants in half rings, strung them on a string and hung them in the kitchen above the stove. The dry ones were kept in glass jars.
And why I soaked them before cooking is now incomprehensible

Sеrn Can you have a little question about dried eggplant - does it taste the same when cooked, as if it was fresh or different?

[Gaby]

Gaby , of course, the taste of dried eggplants is different from fresh ones. In my opinion, dried ones are closer in taste to mushrooms than to fresh eggplants. But sooooo tasty!

[Stеrn]

For half a day I carry your recipes ... Fortunately, it's a day off ... And I've read so many flattering reviews about this borscht that I couldn't help finding it ... Well, as a true Ukrainian, I know the price of borscht ... I think. that this WILL BECOME ONE OF THE FAVORITES ... Well, a very interesting idea with eggplants .. THANKS .. OUR UKRAINIAN TO YOU, WITH A BRUSH ... and FLOWERS ...

OH, I forgot about the main thing .... I just renamed it ... And in my notebook computer it proudly sounds like this: "Ukrainian borsch with eggplant from Stern" .... Well, just in case .... don't forget to cook .... for me Stеrn - quality mark.. here ...

[Stеrn]

Great recipe, Stеrn! I also cook borscht this way, I put the vegetables one by one in the wok, but I do not rub it through a grater, but thinly chop it by hand, for a long time of course, but this borscht is worth it.
Yes, also, along with herbs and garlic, at the end I add purple basil (rayhon) - an ideal combination with garlic in any dish. In the winter I dry it a lot and I always have it in my kitchen.

Don't even try to persuade me - I won't add basil to borscht for anything!

Don't even try to persuade me - I won't add basil to borscht for anything!

and why? do you dislike basil, or do you think that it is not suitable for borscht?
I love him very much, but the truth has never been added to borscht.

[Stеrn]

Today I cooked a soup according to your recipe, although I have my own signature recipe
The vegetables appeared all fresh, new harvest, inspired to cook a vegetarian soup, and I never tried borsch with eggplant, here I did:



very cute and tasty
the little one fed her at least, he is kind of strange with me, at 2 years old he became a vegetarian on his own, as he learns meat or fish - running from the table
and then he ate, mumbled (this is the highest praise, if it's tasty, then he eats and at the same time mmmm ... publishes - so cool)
so that Stеrn accept gratitude not only from me, like me, but also from a grateful mother, who for once managed to feed her fastidious vegetables

[luchocheck]

luchocheck, good for you and son!

What a handsome borschik, delicious!

I really love basil, but not in borscht.

I really want to try this borscht, I've been looking at the recipe for a long time. But they will not understand me if the borscht is without beans. Or maybe beans?

[celfh]

celfh , beans will not hurt, they are absolutely neutral.

: nyam: I liked the recipe for borscht with eggplant.
How many should there be in borscht? How are beets? Carrots?

For two liters of water, 1 eggplant.

[Stеrn]

Stеrn , cooked borscht. Noble borscht. Thanks for the recipe.
I will definitely cook some more. Only beets and carrots will be grated on a burn grater, in thin strips. I got used to ...

I carry my report in the heat of the heat

Thank you very tasty, my ate and praised
Mom asked me to send it separately for you Thank you very much for the delicious borschik !!

Stella, and I'm again with borscht with eggplants, well, who would have thought that so rich and tasty !!! Now I had to freeze with cubes for winter borscht

And thanks to me for advertising?

I also have borscht with eggplant

Girls who cooked borscht with eggplants, do you need to peel the eggplants?

I always clean, well, I don’t like this skin, and they say that films on tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are bad for the intestines (like they stick, and then it can happen)

[Ryazanochka]

Ryazanochka , I never clean.

All! I am reporting! Borscht with eggplant - swallow your tongue




Well, just a huge thanks to Stеrn !!!

Very tasty and original

We just had lunch. Thank you very much, very tasty. Everything at Sternushka is very tasty and unusual. If it works out, then I attach a photo of the borschechka)))

[Stеrn]

Well, borscht is also in Africa borscht ... but .... after the New Year holidays, lean (true with sour cream), and even with a secret ingredient (eggplant) is a fairy tale !!!
Thank you, Stеrn, for the idea and Happy New Year !!!!

[Lora0209]

Lora0209, for health and thanks for the report! Happy New Year!

Noble borscht!

Thanks for the great idea! My husband and I are fasting and this recipe will be very useful

[nato4ka1977]

nato4ka1977, welcome to our forum!

I would be glad if the recipe is useful to you!

So I cooked this borscht today. It turned out delicious. Although, the husband noticed that there was no meat, you cannot cheat him in this regard. But he noted that such borscht can be eaten without meat, sometimes. And this is worth a lot, he will rarely eat anything without meat.
By the way, in principle I cook borscht like that, but instead of eggplant I put meat, but here it's the opposite.

I have already frozen the baked eggplant for the winter, but now I need to freeze the raw ones for the borscht? Girls who have already made freezing for this borschik, please answer.

[Olima]

Olima, for health and thanks for the report!

Wonderful borscht!

I no longer remember which of the girls froze eggplants for this borscht, but I know for sure what they froze.

[Stеrn]

Stеrn, tremendous thanks for such a borscht !!!

very unexpected, but my "meat"))) the family liked it ...
gobbled up on both cheeks .. I will repeat again!

[Olka44]

Olka44, for health and thanks for the tip!

The whole site is probably already cooking this borsch, but I just moved up yesterday, my mushh does not perceive borscht, if the leg of a rooster does not stick out of the pan, or someone's rib, but for my beloved it’s somehow lazy, but I really wanted to that she decided to bungle at least a tiny saucepan. It didn't work out tiny, but a 3-liter pan came out, but it's for the best, my husband really liked the borschik, I'm not talking about myself, it's a shame, such a recipe was not used for a long time, but oh well, I’m pretty soon catch up!

NIZA, good for you and your husband and thanks for the tip!

[Stella!]

Well, I am with the latecomers. Borshchik turned out to be great, very tasty Reminded the taste of grandmother's borsch



Stella! Thanks for the recipe

Kobeechka, dear, good luck and thanks for the report!

Dear Sternushka !!! You are our savior, I bring you a belated huge thank you for the delicious borscht - I've been cooking it for half a year once a week, I really like it.

Macaroni, good health and thanks for the tip!

Today I cooked borschik too. Vkuuusno so that there are no words. Thank you so much, I will repeat it more than once!
