1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a finger-licking pumpkin for the winter? Prepare the vegetables.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour 50 ml of vegetable oil into a thick-bottomed saucepan or saucepan. While the oil is heating, peel and cut the onion into small pieces. Pour it into hot oil, sauté, but do not fry too much.

   As soon as you smell the fried onions, add the sliced ​​carrots and chopped bell peppers. Stir and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes. You can cover it with a lid.

   While the vegetables are simmering, remove the rind and seeds from the pumpkin. Cut 500 grams of pumpkin pulp into large pieces, approximately 2x2 cm in size. Add the pumpkin to the pan with the rest of the vegetables. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring. The pumpkin pieces should become soft, but not lose their shape.

9. STEP 9

   

   At the very end of cooking, when all the vegetables are ready, pour in 1.5 tablespoons of 9% vinegar. At this stage, you can grind the vegetables with a blender if you want to get caviar as a result.

10. STEP 10
