Cooking borscht in a pressure cooker is fast and so easy! As the result, you will get a great and flavorful dish in a matter of minutes.
Wash beef bones under running water and place in a pot. Cover with cold water and quickly bring to a boil. Remove any foam that might appear on the surface, turn the heat down to low and let the broth simmer for 4-5 hours. Add salt 30 minutes before the broth is done. Strain the broth to get rid of bone bits and pieces.
Prepare your vegetables: cut onions, beetroots, turnips, potatoes and carrots into cubes and shred green cabbage. Open canned beans, place them in a colander and rinse under running water. Blanch tomatoes, peel and cut into medium cubes. Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add chopped onion. Cook for 3 minutes. Then add tomatoes, beets, turnips, carrots, cabbage, rinsed beans, bay leaves and caraway seeds. Cover everything with bone-based broth you’ve already made and close the lid.
Place pressure cooker on a stove and quickly bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium low and let everything cook for 10 minutes. Then quickly cook the pressure cooker down under cold running water or by placing it in a large bowl of ice water. Open the lid and add peppercorns, white wine vinegar and salt to taste.
