It’s no secret that you can eat delicious food even in fasting. In addition, lean meals are healthy food in its most healthy, easy and very appetizing version. A vivid confirmation of this is lean borscht with oyster mushrooms.
The dish consists of a standard borscht set – beets, potatoes, carrots, cabbage. In addition, oyster mushrooms are added to the borscht for aroma and delicious taste. The brightness of the color of borscht is given by fresh lemon juice.
