Tomato paste

I started looking for the recipe for the most delicious zucchini salad for the winter after I returned from a planned and long-awaited trip. Traveling around Italy, seeing its sights and admiring the beauty of this wonderful country, I became a real fan of Italian cuisine.

Everyone probably knows and loves the taste of store-bought zucchini caviar. I offer housewives my simple method of cooking in a slow cooker. Squash caviar in a slow cooker turns out just as tasty as store-bought. You will love this wonderful, simple recipe so much that you will never go back to store-bought squash caviar again.

Some people do not like homemade squash caviar, but only respect store-bought ones. My family belongs to this category of people.

After a short summer, I want to leave as many warm memories about it as possible. And the most pleasant memories, most often, come through the stomach. 😉 That’s why it’s so nice to open a jar of delicious zucchini caviar prepared in summer in late autumn or winter and remember the sultry warmth of summer.

Recipes for winter preparations of lecho are very diverse, but preparation methods using tomato paste occupy a place of honor among them.

This process is quite labor-intensive: it is necessary to remove the skin from a large number of ripe fruits, twist them through a meat grinder or grind them in a blender, and then boil them over fire for 20-30 minutes. It is clear that such preparatory measures take quite a lot of time, so the use of ready-made tomato paste for preparing lecho is quite justified. So, let's look at the most popular recipes among housewives.
