Zucchini Caviar without Mayonnaise for Winter

You really can't get through winter without this preserve! This mayo-free zucchini caviar for winter is made from vegetables that are sautéed first. The trick to the recipe is that there are no fresh tomatoes—tomato paste stands in for them. That means you don't have to cook the caviar down for long, since the paste doesn't carry much liquid.

    1. Peel the carrots and onion and cut them into small dice. Wash the zucchini and dice it too.
    1. First, sauté the onion in vegetable oil until golden and set it on a plate. Then sauté the carrots and set them aside. Sauté the zucchini the same way, adding more oil if you run short.
    1. Then combine all the vegetables in a heavy pot, set it over low heat, and cook everything together for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until all the ingredients are soft.
    1. Using an immersion blender, purée the vegetables until smooth, add the tomato paste, sugar, salt, and pepper, and simmer over low heat, covered, for 10 minutes.
    1. Then take the pot off the heat, add the pressed garlic and pour in the vinegar, return it to the heat, and keep simmering, covered, for another 10 minutes.
    1. Spoon the hot caviar into pre-sterilized jars, seal with lids, wrap in a blanket, and leave for a day until completely cool.
  • It's best to store the caviar in a cool, dark place.
  • This amount of ingredients should make two 1-pint (0.5-liter) jars of caviar.
