How to cook squash caviar at home

We clean the main ingredient of the preparation from thick peel and seeds and rinse with cold water. Fresh carrots, simply wash them thoroughly. Peel the peppers from seeds, and peel the onions and garlic.

Pour the oil into a deep frying pan or roasting pan and, after waiting for it to heat up, begin to add the chopped vegetables. To grind them, it is best to use a food processor or blender, but you can also use a regular grater. Let's put the carrots in the oil first; they will give a rich color to the squash caviar.

After frying it a little, add onion, garlic and finely chopped sweet pepper, it is this that makes the taste of caviar original.

While all this is stewing for 8 minutes, you need to finely grind the zucchini and add it to the vegetables that are already stewing.

Add more adjika, tomato paste and a quarter glass of water. Let's not forget about salt and sugar. Mix everything thoroughly and leave to simmer for 40 minutes.

Do not forget to stir the cooking squash caviar so that it does not burn. When the cooking time is up, you need to add vinegar and leave the caviar to simmer for another 10 minutes.

We put the hot preparation into jars, turn it upside down and wrap it up so that the zucchini caviar cools slowly.

I think that every housewife will agree that delicious homemade squash caviar is an excellent dish that will go with a bang when we open the jar before the New Year holidays.
