Ememem its a sort of dark orange.. v yummy ..
here is recipe.. It changes as I do it each time depending on what i have in though . This time it had more carrots ( as I had lots , ) and no red cabbage ( but its v. good with red cabbage in ) . It comes from my old 5:2 recipes, so if you are interested in calories its about 670 cals for the whole recipe so about 112 a portion
I like mine with a little crumbled feta on top and a splash of hot sauce
Carrot, Red cabbage and beet borscht
2 packs of Cooked Beetroot In Natural Juices, (250 gs ea.)
2 Medium Onions -
3 Celery stalk, medium (7-1/2" - 8" long)
4 Carrots -
200g Potato
2 cloves garlic
quarter of Red Cabbage chopped
Pancetta 110g, 1 pack
400g can Tinned chopped Tomatoes
Caraway Seed I teaspoon crushed
Dried Dill half teaspoon
Fresh - Dill, small packet
teaspoon smoked paprika
Chicken (or veggie) Stock Cube, 1 cube
Splash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice
Chop up celery onion carrot into small dice , Fry off with pancetta in large pans until soft and then drain off excess fat. add garlic (or if making veggie version use tesp oil ) .
Thinly slice potatoes (I left the skins on) and add to the pot with caraway seeds and dried dill. Add made up stock add to cover and simmer until pots are tender.
Shred cabbage and chop beetroot and add to the pot with the tinned tomatoes and smoked paprika, and simmer until cabbage is tender.
Add chopped fresh dill salt an pepper and splash of red vine vinegar or lemon juice to taste and liquidise.
You can use uncooked beetroot but the pre cooked stuff is v cheap and easier ..
