Its ingredients range from fresh vegetables to smoked meats, each bringing a unique touch. In this recipe, red beets become the star, offering not only a great taste but also a vibrant color that will transform your meal into a visual experience. Step by step 1. Beetroot preparation Start by washing the beetroot thoroughly under cold running water. Then put the beets in a pot of water and boil until tender, about 30-40 minutes. When it's ready, let it cool, then peel and dice. 2. Preparing the Prime Rib Wash the smoked ribs in warm water to remove excess salt. Then cut it into suitable pieces and boil in another pot with 2 liters of water. Boil the ribs for 20 minutes. 3. Preparing the vegetables While the ribs are cooking, peel the onion and chop finely. Peel the carrot and parsnips, then grate. These vegetables will add the necessary sweetness to the bors. 4. Adding the ingredients Once the bacon is lightly browned, add the chopped onion. After 7-8 minutes, add the grated carrot and parsnips. Mix well to combine the flavors. 5. Including Potatoes Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. Add them to the pot with the bacon and vegetables and simmer for 10-15 minutes. 6. Combining with Beetroot and Bors Add the diced beets and chopped bell pepper to the pot. At the same time, bring the bors to a boil. Once the bors has boiled, add it to the pot and simmer for another 20-30 minutes. This step is essential for the flavors to blend. 7. Finalizing the preparation Once all the ingredients are cooked, take the pot off the heat and add the finely chopped green parsley. Stir gently and your bors is ready to serve.
