    1. Peel the onion and garlic. Slice the onion into half-moons and press the garlic through a garlic press. Put them in a Dutch oven (or heavy pot), add the vegetable oil, and set over the heat. Sauté gently for 7 minutes.
    1. Meanwhile, peel and grate the carrots, add them to the pot, and keep sautéing.
    1. Rinse the tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Seed and core the bell pepper, rinse, and cut into thin strips. Add the vegetables to the pot, stir, and cook about 10 minutes more.
    1. The vegetables will have released plenty of juice, so now stir in the tomato paste, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
    1. Rinse the zucchini, cut into small cubes, and add them to the pot once the time is up. Simmer another 15 minutes—just be careful not to let the zucchini turn to mush.
    1. Rinse the parsley, chop it finely, and add it to the pot. Pour in the vinegar and stir gently.
    1. Fill pre-sterilized jars with the hot vegetable relish and seal the lids right away. Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a blanket, and leave them until fully cooled.
  • After 20–24 hours, you can move the jars to their permanent storage spot in a cellar or basement.
  • Wishing you comfort and warmth all year round!
