For dinner I made finger-licking beet caviar for the winter. Only we ate it right away and didn’t leave it for the winter) Now I’m thinking of making a larger batch and rolling up a few jars for future use. For caviar I took one onion and one large beet. At first I was afraid to grind vegetables in a blender, I thought it would turn out to be puree. But, both the face and the beets turned out in the form of small “grains”. This is a very unusual consistency) It was the first time I fried onions in this form; they cook quickly due to the large amount of juice. Therefore, the beets must be chopped in advance. While stewing, I added tomato paste diluted with water, a little salt and black pepper. Simmered until the liquid evaporated. It turned out delicious and unusual. The consistency of the beets did not turn into puree, they remained semi-solid pieces. It's pleasant to chew. Tastes like beet salad. I didn't have enough sourness, next time I'll add lemon juice. I liked the recipe, I recommend it!

Thanks for the recipe, it’s quite simple and must be very tasty! A question has arisen: your recipe states that you can use tomato paste instead of ketchup. Is the proportion 1:3 1 part tomato paste and 3 parts water, or vice versa 3 parts tomato paste and 1 part water?

Can this caviar be added to borscht or vinaigrette?

What kind of jar does 350 g of beets make? Is caviar stored well without vinegar?
