Borscht on a sandwich

Borscht is the famous beetroot soup served in several slavic countries like Ukraine and Russia. Even though people usually call it 'beetroot soup', the dish contains a variety of different vegetables that are crucial for the perfect result. The secret behind a good borscht is to get a balance between the sweet and the sour.The sour is brough out by adding vinagre or sourkraut and the sweet is enhanced by frying the vegetables before they are cooked in the soup. This recipe is a reinvention of the classic soup into a sandwich. The majority of ingredients I use are airdried in order to reduce prepp time
