Ingredients needed
- 2 large carrots
- 1 parsley root
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tomato
- 2 peppers (preferably one green and one red)
- 1 bunch of dill
- 1 bunch tarragon
- 1 egg
- mut mutton bones (about 500 g)
- ½ cup yoghurt (preferably Greek for extra creaminess)
- Magic Bors (or homemade bors if you have it)
- Oil for browning
- Salt to taste

Step by step preparation technique

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by peeling all the vegetables. Wash the carrots, parsley root, onions, tomatoes and peppers. Dice the carrots and parsley root into small cubes and slice the onions, tomatoes and peppers.

2. Blanch the vegetables
In a deep pan, add 3-4 tablespoons of oil and heat over medium heat. Add the grated carrots through a large-hole grater and sauté until they turn golden and release their flavor. This process will add flavor to your borscht.

3. Boiling the bones
In a large saucepan, place the burbot bones and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and put the pot on high heat. When the water comes to the boil, skim off any scum that forms on the surface using a skimmer.

4. Adding the vegetables
Once the soup is frothy, add the blanched vegetables, parsley, peppers and chopped tomatoes. These will add sweetness and a mix of flavors that will intensify as it simmers. Leave everything to simmer, covering the pot with a lid.

5. Adding herbs
When the vegetables are almost cooked (about 40 minutes), add the fresh dill and tarragon. These aromatic herbs will add a distinctive fragrance and a touch of freshness to the borscht.

6. Preparing the egg mixture
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of yogurt and add a ladle of hot stock. This process helps to temper the egg, thus preventing it from curdling when added to the bors. Mix well until smooth.

7. Finalizing the bors
When all the ingredients are cooked through (about 1 hour and 30 minutes from the start), turn off the heat and add the egg and yogurt mixture. Stir gently and let the bors to rest for a few minutes to integrate the flavors.

8. Serving the bors
Serve the béarnaise bors in deep bowls, adding cream on top for extra creaminess and rich flavor. You can sprinkle a few fresh dill leaves for an attractive garnish.

Useful tips for perfect bors
- Use mut mut mutton bones with meat for a heartier and more flavorful bors.
- If you prefer a more sour bors, add more bors or yogurt to taste.
- Try using seasonal vegetables to get the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
- If you don't have homemade bors, Bors Magic is a good alternative, but your dish will taste more authentic with homemade bors.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use already cooked borscht?
Yes, you can use cooked mut mutton to reduce cooking time, but make sure you add it at the end to avoid decomposition.

- Is this borscht suitable for vegans?
No, as the recipe contains meat and dairy products. I recommend trying a vegan version with vegetables and tofu.

- How can I store the borscht?
Bors keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can freeze it, but the texture of the vegetables may change.

Delicious combinations
Bors de berbecut goes perfectly with a warm porridge and a little cottage cheese, and a fresh summer salad will add a touch of freshness. You can accompany the meal with a dry white wine or a craft beer, which will accentuate the rich flavors of the bors.
