Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make squash caviar with carrots for the winter? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Zucchini for harvesting does not have to be milky ripe; ripe fruits are also suitable. You can purchase tomato paste at the store or use a homemade product. During the harvest season, such a preparation will turn out not only tasty, but also budget-friendly.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash, peel, peel and remove the seeds, grind them using a blender, food processor or mince. If the zucchini is young, then you can chop them without peeling, just rinse and dry. Squeeze out excess juice from the zucchini mass and place it in a deep saucepan or thick-walled pan.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the carrots, peel and grate. If the carrots are fresh, just picked from the garden, the skin of the vegetables is still tender, you don’t need to peel it, just rub it with a stiff brush to remove dirt.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onions and finely chop with a knife.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom and heat it. Fry the onions and carrots in oil, add finely chopped garlic, fry the vegetables over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spatula.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the roasted vegetables to the pan with the zucchini, add tomato paste, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix everything well, put on the fire, let the mixture boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spatula so that the vegetables do not burn to the bottom of the pan.

7. STEP 7

   

   If you want the squash caviar to be more homogeneous in consistency, then at this stage you can blend the vegetable mixture again. Pour table vinegar into the pan with the vegetable mixture, mix everything with a spatula, let the mixture boil again and cook it for another five minutes over low heat . Turn off the heat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the squash caviar in sterile jars (jars can be sterilized using one of the convenient and proven methods), immediately roll up the jars with sterile lids, turn the jars upside down, let them cool at room temperature “under a fur coat”, put the jars with caviar into the refrigerator or cold storage pantry until winter. Bon appetit!

My men love spicy food very much, so we have a lot of Georgian dishes on the menu. I even got used to making preparations “with a twist,” for example, squash caviar. According to this recipe, it turned out piquant and fiery. Thanks a lot!
