Ukrainian chef Yevhen Klopotenko has shared a recipe for a flavorful borscht dressing that can be canned and enjoyed throughout the winter.

This traditional Ukrainian dish relies on a base of vegetable dressing, garlic for spice, and tomato paste. Klopotenko’s recipe features a unique approach, allowing you to prepare the dressing in advance and preserve it for later use.

Here’s a summary of the key steps:

* **Prepare the vegetables:** Grate carrots, dice onions and garlic, and cut peppers into cubes.
* **Sauté:** Sauté onions and garlic in sunflower oil for 3-4 minutes before adding the carrots. Continue to cook until the carrots are soft, then add the peppers.
* **Add beets and tomatoes:** Grate the beets and tomatoes (removing the tomato skin). Add to the pot with salt, sugar, and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
* **Finish with herbs and vinegar:** Add chopped herbs and vinegar, and simmer for 5 minutes.
* **Can and store:** Pour the dressing into sterilized jars, seal, and store in a cool place.

This recipe makes it easy to enjoy the classic flavors of borscht year-round, even when fresh vegetables aren’t readily available.
