Step 1:
How to make squash caviar with garlic? Prepare all the necessary products. Squash caviar, as a rule, is prepared in the vegetable season, so take fresh and seasonal vegetables. As for zucchini, they can be anything: both white fruit and zucchini.
Step 2:
Peel and dice the onion.
Step 3:
Peel the zucchini if necessary, remove the large seeds and cut into cubes.
Step 4:
Prepare the dishes for cooking caviar: it is best if it is a saucepan with a thick bottom - the caviar will not burn in it. Put the chopped onions and zucchini in it.
Step 5:
Chop the vegetables until smooth with a blender or meat grinder.
Step 6:
Add chopped garlic. Bring to a boil over low heat and cook for about an hour.
Step 7:
Add salt, sugar.
Step 8:

Step 10:
Pour in the vinegar. This recipe uses 6-9% table vinegar.
Step 11:
Cook for another 30 minutes.
Step 12:
Add mayonnaise and boil the caviar for another 20 minutes.
Step 13:
Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I pour some water into them and put them in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. It is enough to boil the lids for 5 minutes.
Step 14:
Arrange the caviar in jars and tightly close or roll up the lids. Sterilization is not required. The workpiece is stored in a cool place. Enjoy your meal!
Remember that spices such as salt, sugar, as well as vinegar and its substitutes are used in recipes for winter preparations not only for taste, but primarily as preservatives. Therefore, in no case should you reduce the concentration of salt and sugar, and also replace vinegar (essence) with a weaker concentration than indicated in the recipe, otherwise vinegar (salt / sugar) will not show their preservative properties and the workpiece will be spoiled.
Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting

Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
