Spicy zucchini adjika

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare spicy adjika from zucchini for the winter? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Peel more mature zucchini and remove the seeds. Young zucchini does not need to be peeled. Tomatoes can be of any variety. Adjust the amount of chili pepper and garlic according to your taste. It is better to take red bell peppers for adjika so that the finished adjika has a rich red color. Use coarse salt or special salt for salting. Take sugar without a slide.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash all vegetables, dry and cut so that they can be passed through a meat grinder. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper, but leave the seeds from the chili pepper; they retain all the heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pass all the vegetables through a meat grinder. It is convenient to chop vegetables directly into the pan. The article on saucepans, the link at the end of the recipe, will help you choose the ideal pan. Use a large grate on the meat grinder, otherwise it will be difficult to chop the vegetables. Skip the bell pepper and garlic first. It’s better to alternate vegetables so that the meat grinder doesn’t get clogged and the tomatoes don’t get crushed, and the adjika will mix right away.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the pan with the vegetable mixture on the stove and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Then reduce the heat to medium and cook the adjika for about 30 minutes. Prepare the jars. I wash them with baking soda and dry them in the oven for 5-10 minutes. It is not necessary to sterilize jars. From the specified amount of ingredients I got 3 liters of adjika.

5. STEP 5

   

   After half an hour of cooking, add salt and sugar to the adjika.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour 9% vinegar and odorless vegetable oil into the spicy adjika made from zucchini. Mix well and cook adjika for about 10 minutes. At this stage, you need to taste the adjika. If necessary, you can add more spice or salt, then you will need to boil the mixture for another 5 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the prepared hot adjika from zucchini into clean, dry jars.

8. STEP 8

   

   Immediately roll up the hot jars of adjika, turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a blanket or blanket and leave to cool for 12-24 hours. Happy cooking and bon appetit!

Why are zucchini needed here? What effect do they give in general? It seems to me that there is nothing besides the mass. Adjika is good even without zucchini, it’s become fashionable to put whatever into recipes.
