Alenka beet salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. Wash the vegetables thoroughly. For such preparation, you can use overripe tomatoes that are not very beautiful in appearance, which is necessary for pickling whole tomatoes. If the skin of the tomatoes is hard, then remove it by pouring boiling water over the vegetables.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the tomatoes into several pieces and place them in a deep saucepan.

3. STEP 3

   

   You can also use any bell pepper for this preparation, even if it has lost its marketable appearance. We cut out the stalk with seeds, cut the pulp into several parts. Place the pepper in a bowl with tomatoes.

4. STEP 4

   

   We clean the garlic cloves from the membranes and cut them into several parts. We put it in a saucepan with other vegetables. Those who like spicy snacks can add a piece of hot pepper.

5. STEP 5

   

   We put the vegetables in the pan on the fire and simmer them over medium heat until they release their juices and become soft, simmer on the fire for about 10 minutes, constantly stirring with a spatula so that they do not burn to the bottom of the pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Turn off the heat, let the vegetables cool slightly and use a blender to puree them.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the onions and cut them into cubes or feathers. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, sauté onions in oil for about 5-7 minutes, until transparent. Place the onions in a saucepan with vegetables.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the beets and carrots and grate them on a medium grater. If the workpiece is made in large quantities, then it can be crushed using a food processor, which will significantly speed up the process of preparing the workpiece.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place beets and carrots in a pan with vegetables. Add sugar, salt. Place on the fire and simmer the vegetables for about 40 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then pour in the vinegar and let the mixture boil. Turn off the fire. Place the salad hot in jars that have been conveniently sterilized in advance.

11. STEP 11

    

    Immediately seal the jars with lids. It is not necessary to additionally sterilize the preparation; the presence of vinegar in the composition will not allow it to deteriorate, but anyone who is accustomed to sterilizing all preparations for the winter can do this; this will not make the taste of the salad worse. The salad is ready for the winter. Bon appetit!
