Meanwhile, toasty the sunflower cooking oil in a large, deep frying pot.
7

8
step 3 introduce the beetroot and oven-cook for around 5 mins, stirring occasionally.
9
introduce the red pepper, if using, and oven-cook for another 2 mins, then introduce the tomatoes and prunes, mix gently, then increase the toasty and bubble to reduce slightly, before adding everything to the borscht.
