  • Let's get cooking:
    • wash the zucchini and cut into cubes;
    • peel, wash, and grate the carrots on the coarse side of a box grater;
    • core and seed the bell peppers, wash, and cut into strips;
    • peel the onion and cut into thin half-rings;
    • wash the tomatoes and cut into cubes about the size of the zucchini;
    • pour warm water into a bowl, add the tomato paste, sunflower oil, sugar, and salt, and stir until smooth;
    • pour the mixture into a pot, set over the heat, and once the tomato liquid boils, add the prepped zucchini and cook for 15 minutes;
    • then add the rest of the vegetables (except the tomatoes) and simmer for another 15 minutes;
    • now the tomatoes' turn: add them to the pot and cook for 15 minutes, then pour in the vinegar, add the curry, stir, and boil a final 5 minutes;
    • ladle the hot salad into sterilized jars, seal with metal lids, wrap the jars in a blanket, and leave for a day until fully cooled.
  • Store in a dark, cool place (I keep mine in the cellar).
  • May the taste of this relish bring you good cheer!
