For an even richer flavor, roast the beets before shredding them. A splash of red wine vinegar can be used in place of lemon juice. Adjust the sugar and lemon juice to taste, depending on the sweetness of your beets. For a vegetarian option, omit the beef shank and use vegetable broth. Consider adding smoked paprika for depth of flavor. Borscht tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld.

Sep 9, 2024I've made this borscht several times now, and it's always a hit! The only change I make is adding a bay leaf during the simmering process for extra flavor.
