Heartburn free borsch

There are a lot of various recipes for Russian Borsch (Борщ). A lot of them involve heartburn causing ingredients like ketchup. The trick is to take away the problematic parts while still keeping it as much of a Borsch as possible.

Here is one recipe to try.

• 1 large beet 600g fillet of beef 
• 75 ml of dry red wine (this one is slightly questionable, depending on your luck with tomatoes, wine can be replaced by fresh tomatoes) 
• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 
• 1 carrot 
• Fresh greens (parsley) 
• salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Wash the beets and carrots, individually wrap them with foil and bake in the oven.

6.  Add a little boiling water. 
7.  Peel roasted beets and carrots, cut into small pieces, throw into the soup.
