Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing them for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. This step is essential for developing the base flavors of the borscht. 2. Add the vegetables: Incorporate the grated carrot and other vegetables. Mix well and let them sauté for another 5-7 minutes, adding the pepper or tomato paste for a more intense flavor. 3. Boil the base: Add water (4-5 liters) to the pot, ensuring the vegetables are completely covered. Let it boil over medium heat until the vegetables become soft, about 20 minutes. 4. Add the fish: When the vegetables are cooked, add the fish meat cut into suitable pieces. Let it boil for 10-15 minutes. Check the fish to ensure it is cooked properly. 5. Borscht and seasoning: After the fish is cooked, add a cup of borscht and let it boil for a few moments to combine the flavors. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste. 6. Finalizing: Turn off the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh lovage over the borscht, adding a fresh green note. Serving suggestion: Fish borscht is served hot, alongside a slice of fresh bread or polenta. You can add a spoonful of sour cream for extra creaminess, and for those who prefer a spicy note, a splash of hot pepper is welcome. Variations: You can experiment with different types of fish or add other vegetables, such as zucchini or potatoes, to vary the texture and taste. Depending on preferences, you can use homemade borscht or store-bought borscht; however, homemade borscht brings that authenticity we seek in traditional dishes. This fish borscht with lovage is not only a simple recipe but also a true explosion of flavors that will delight your senses. Enjoy your meal!
