How to cook
Before you start cooking zucchini caviar with beets, you need to prepare vegetables.
Preparation of vegetables
- Zucchini, beets and carrots are soaked separately in cold water to wash off the adhering earth. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
- After the vegetables have dried, we clean the peel from them, and from the zucchini also the middle, if the seeds have already formed. We remove the husk from the onion. We wash the vegetables again and put them on a clean napkin.
- For caviar, you need tomatoes without skins. Scald them with boiling water, then dip them in ice water. Cleaned up no problem. After that, the tomatoes are ground into a separate cup.
- Vegetables are first cut into pieces, and then grind in a meat grinder. Zucchini needs to be ground separately to drain excess liquid. Garlic is crushed on a garlic press.
Brewing process
To cook caviar, you need to choose dishes with a thick bottom. It is undesirable to use an enamel pan, because the snack burns in it.
- We put the chopped vegetables (except tomatoes and garlic) in a saucepan, salt, sugar, pour in the oil and mix thoroughly to get a homogeneous mass. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
- As soon as the caviar begins to boil, transfer to a slow fire and cook for about an hour. The pot must be closed with a lid.
- Add the crushed mixture of ground peppers and tomatoes, cook for another 40 minutes without a lid. If you add tomatoes immediately, then the cooking time of the beets will increase.
- After 10 minutes, you need to add garlic, boil for 5 minutes and pour the essence. After 3 minutes, the caviar is ready.
A hot appetizer of zucchini with beets, prepared without frying vegetables, is laid out in sterile jars, closed with screw or tin lids. Turning the jars upside down, wraps them in a blanket.
You can store it in any cool place.
