   How to make beans with vegetables for the winter? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. During the harvest season, when these products are available and cheap, the preparation is not only tasty, but also quite budget-friendly. You can change the set of vegetables at your discretion.

2. STEP 2

   

   Fresh beans should be soaked for a couple of hours, if they are dry, then leave them overnight. You can use any beans for the salad, depending on availability and taste. After soaking, the beans should swell well, drain the water, and rinse the beans again.

3. STEP 3

   

   Boil the beans in water until tender, drain the water. Wash and peel the vegetables.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grate the carrots on a coarse grater or cut into thin strips.

   Cut young zucchini into cubes; if the zucchini is already mature, remove the skin, remove the seeds, and also cut the pulp into cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the bell pepper from the seed capsule and cut the pulp into strips.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the tomatoes into several parts, cut out the place where the stalk attaches, and use a blender to turn the tomatoes into puree.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the onions and garlic and finely chop them with a knife. Sauté the onions and garlic in a frying pan with vegetable oil. Place them in a thick-bottomed pan and add tomato puree into the pan.

12. STEP 12

    

    While the salad is cooking, rinse and sterilize the jars; sterilizing the jars in the oven is convenient. Place the washed, wet jars with their necks on a wire rack in a cold oven, turn on the oven at 150 degrees, and sterilize them for 15 minutes (0.5 liter jars).

I really love beans in any form, be it soup or salad, and beans with vegetables for the winter are relevant during the preparation season. A very satisfying dish and contains a lot of protein, it is easy to prepare, but it turns out aromatic and tasty. Thank you very much for the recipe!
