Squash caviar with tomato paste and onion for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make squash caviar with tomato paste? Prepare zucchini, carrots, onions, vegetable oil, salt, sugar, ground black pepper, vinegar 9% and tomato paste. Of course, it may seem to you that a smaller amount of vinegar is enough. And it's true, you can add less vinegar. But I'm not sure that in this case the caviar will be stored for a long time.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the zucchini, cut off the skin and, if the zucchini are overripe, then remove the coarse seeds too. Cut the zucchini pulp into small cubes. Wash, peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Onions also need to be cleaned and finely chopped. Pour vegetable oil into a large saucepan, put the chopped zucchini, carrots, onions.

3. Step 3:

   

   Simmer vegetables over moderate heat for one hour. Zucchini will release a sufficient amount of juice, if there is too much of it, then the excess must be evaporated. To do this, if necessary, increase the stewing time of vegetables. The less liquid remains, the thicker our squash caviar will turn out.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then chop the soft vegetables into a tender puree using an immersion blender. Add salt, sugar, salt, ground black pepper and tomato paste. Mix it up.

6. Step 5:

   

   Gently bring the squash caviar with tomato paste to a boil, stir the contents of the pan frequently, because the caviar will "shoot". Add the vinegar, keep it on the fire for a little longer and put it in sterilized jars.

7. Step 6:

   

   Zucchini seaming is famous for its "explosiveness", therefore it is advisable to subject cans of caviar to additional sterilization. How to sterilize cans with a blank? Put a towel on the bottom of the pan, put the jars with the workpiece, put sterile lids on them and pour water over the hangers. Boil 0.5 liters of the jar over moderate heat for 10-15 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then seal the jars with sterile lids, turn them over and keep them under a warm blanket or blanket until they cool down completely. Enjoy your meal!
