In this recipe, I will write the secrets of making the perfect zucchini caviar. Knowing these secrets, you will cook caviar that everyone will like. It will be no worse than squash caviar in the store, and perhaps even better. Everyone who tries it will be asking for more...

First of all, you need to choose the “right” zucchini. Half of the taste of future caviar will depend on the quality of zucchini. Zucchini should be fresh, that is, plucked recently, a day ago. To determine freshness, look at the stem. It should be green and juicy. If the stalk began to dry out, turn brown, then such a zucchini has already been plucked for a long time.

Ingredients:

  • zucchini - 1 kg
  • carrots - 300 gr.
  • onion - 300 gr.
  • tomatoes - 300 gr.
  • tomato paste - 1 tsp
  • vegetable oil - 100 ml
  • citric acid - 0.5 tsp
  • salt - 1 tsp
  • sugar - 1 tsp
  • ground black pepper - 0.5 tsp
  • dill and parsley - 50 gr. (optional)

How to prepare caviar, as in a store:

1. If you took young zucchini, then you do not need to peel them. If the zucchini is overripe, be sure to cut off the skin and remove the seeds. In this case, the weight of the zucchini will need to be measured after cleaning. Cut the prepared zucchini into 2x2 cm cubes.

The slicing should be the same so that all the pieces are cooked at the same time.

2. So that the caviar does not boil for a long time, but at the same time it turns out thick, chopped zucchini needs to be salted and mixed. For 1 kg of zucchini, take 1 tablespoon of salt without a slide. Leave the salted zucchini for 20 minutes. During this time, the salt will draw out the juice from the vegetables, which will not need to be used when cooking.

3. Carrots will give the caviar a sweetish taste and an orange color. It needs to be cleaned and cut into cubes. Do not grate carrots! First cut into circles, 5 mm thick, then cut these circles into sticks.

4. Cut the onion into half rings, 5 mm wide.

5. Fresh tomatoes must first be peeled so that there are no pieces of it in the finished product. To make the skin peel off easily, make a cross-shaped incision on the top of the tomato. Then pour boiling water for 30 seconds, drain the water and cool with cold water. After such a contrast procedure, you can easily remove the skin with your hands.

Cut the tomatoes into cubes, about 1x1 cm.

6. When the zucchini stand, drain the juice from them and squeeze them out with your hands like a sponge.

7. You need to fry vegetables separately, because they have different structures and different cooking times. If there are three frying pans on the farm, then they will come in handy now. If not, then fry the vegetables in turn. No need to make the caviar too oily, so pour 1-2 tbsp into the pan. oils. Wait until the oil is well heated. It is not necessary to fry until fully cooked, because the vegetables will still be stewed together.

Fry zucchini for 7-10 minutes, carrots - 10-15 minutes, onions and tomatoes - 2 minutes each.

8. In one pan, start frying the onion. When the onion becomes translucent, add chopped tomatoes to it. Saute these vegetables together for a couple more minutes. In another pan, fry the zucchini, stirring them occasionally, in the third - carrots.

9. Take a saucepan with a thick bottom and pour vegetable oil into it (about 3 tablespoons). Spread the oil over the bottom of the pot so the vegetables don't burn. Put all the fried vegetables into the pan.

10. Using an immersion blender, turn all vegetables into a homogeneous mass. You can also use a meat grinder, but in this case there will not be such a homogeneous texture as obtained when using a blender.

11. For a brighter and more saturated color, add 1 teaspoon of tomato paste to the caviar and beat everything again with a blender.

12. Put the caviar on the fire and let it boil. Reduce fire to minimum. Now the stage of boiling has come, when the caviar needs to be brought to the desired consistency. During the quenching, all excess liquid will evaporate. Stew caviar with an open lid. If the lid is closed, the condensate will flow back into the pan and the boiling process will be delayed. Do not forget to stir the caviar from time to time so that it does not burn.

13. After 40 minutes, you need to bring the caviar to taste. Taste it and salt it (about 1 tsp of salt per 1 kg of zucchini). Also add black ground pepper. To prevent the caviar from exploding and storing well, add half a teaspoon of citric acid, as well as 1 teaspoon of sugar for balance. For spice, you can add a couple of sprigs of greens (finely chopped), if you like. But this is not at all necessary. Boil the caviar, boil for another 5 minutes and you can lay it out in sterilized jars. Do not turn off the heat, put boiling caviar in jars!

You need to salt the caviar at the end of cooking. If you salt immediately, then after boiling it may become oversalted, as the volume will decrease.

Ready caviar will be thick. It falls from a spoon in large drops, but does not drain. Do not forget to sterilize the lid and pour boiling water over the ladle with which you will pour the caviar.

14. It remains to turn over the finished preservation and wrap it in a blanket. Leave the caviar to cool completely. This is a recipe for a truly delicious caviar, thick and bright. You can safely call it "you'll lick your fingers", I recommend it.

1. Carrots must be boiled in advance until half cooked. It is convenient to do this in the evening, and in the morning start cooking caviar. Wash the vegetables and cut into pieces that will be convenient to pass through a meat grinder.

Twisted caviar splashes and shoots strongly during cooking. Therefore, I recommend covering the stove with foil. This technique will save you from further laundering the kitchen.

2. First, twist the zucchini through a meat grinder. These are quite juicy vegetables, so they have to be boiled for a long time before the excess liquid evaporates. To make it easier for yourself, fold the resulting squash mass into a colander and let the excess juice drain. No need to squeeze out the juice with a spoon to make the zucchini completely dry. Let him drain himself.


Let the juice from the zucchini drain, cook the zucchini with bell pepper until the juice evaporates.

4. Next, pass the tomatoes, onions and carrots through a meat grinder, putting everything in a separate bowl. When almost all the liquid has evaporated in the zucchini, add the resulting tomato puree to them, mix and continue to boil.

5. Pour vegetable oil (about 50 ml) into the pan, heat it up and put the chopped onion. Fry the onion, stirring occasionally, until the onion juice has evaporated. Onions should be almost dry. Put the fried onions to the zucchini, peppers and tomatoes. Extinguish everything together.


Add tomatoes to boiled zucchini. Saute the onion until the juice has evaporated.

6. Pour oil (about 100 ml) into the freed pan and put the carrots. Fry the carrots until there is no liquid in the pan.

7. Pour the carrots into the pan with the rest of the vegetables, mix. Add sugar and salt, 3 dessert spoons without a slide, black pepper. Pour in 200 ml of refined oil and mix everything well. When the squash caviar boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 1.5 hours until the desired thick consistency.

The amount of salt and sugar can be adjusted to your taste.

8.While vegetable caviar is cooking, wash and sterilize jars and lids. 10 minutes before readiness, pour a tablespoon of acetic acid into the pan and taste for salt. Season or add sugar/pepper if needed.

Then pour water, put granulated sugar. Salt.


Stir the carrots and bring to a boil, closing the cauldron with a lid. Let it simmer for the next 10 minutes.


While the carrots are stewing, prepare the zucchini. We will cut them into medium-sized cubes.


We also cut the onion into cubes of arbitrary size.


Green chili peppers must be freed from seeds - otherwise the caviar will be very spicy - and cut into small pieces.


Add zucchini, onion, chili pepper to carrots. We mix everything, close the cauldron with a lid and let the mixture boil again.


After the vegetable mix boils, close the cauldron again with a lid and stir the vegetables until completely softened.


As soon as the vegetables become soft - it will take about 20 - 25 minutes - we put tomato paste on them. And simmer the mixture for another 10 minutes, but do not completely close the cauldron with a lid.

This is necessary so that all excess liquid evaporates from the future caviar.

To make it easier to remove the skin, make a crosswise incision on the tomato and lower it into boiling water. Hold for two to three minutes and remove. The skin will now peel off easily.

Remove the seeds and bitter white membranes from the peppers. Also cut them into small pieces.


Garlic, onions and carrots are also finely regimen.

You can fry vegetables one after another, each time freeing the pan completely.

Grind the almost finished caviar with a blender - it should become like a puree.

I offer you a video recipe for the most delicious zucchini caviar

Bon appetit and see you for new recipes!

Rinse the zucchini under running water to remove any remaining dirt from them. It is better to cut off the superficial skin with a sharp knife. You can basically not do this. But then the caviar will come out coarser in consistency. The middle compartment with the seed chamber must be cut out and discarded.

It is best to cut the zucchini into cubes or small rings. At the end of the procedure, they are fried in a frying pan over low heat using a small amount of vegetable oil. As a result, they should not turn out to be very fried, you just need to sweat them to soften.

step two

While the zucchini is languishing, in a frying pan, in parallel, we begin to perform the following steps:

  • Peel and finely chop the onion. I recommend placing it in the freezer for 2-3 minutes first - you won’t cry and it will be easier to cut into even pieces.
  • We clean the garlic cloves, wash them and pass through the garlic press.
  • We wash each bell pepper, cut it in half, take out the partitions and seeds and cut into smaller pieces.
  • We wash and clean the carrots, rub it on a standard grater (not fine!).

Step Three

Let the chopped bell pepper and onion in sunflower oil and put in a saucepan with a spoon with holes. Fry the carrots in the remaining oil.

Step Four

Mix prepared zucchini, carrots, sweet peppers, onions and mix well. We give the composition to cool slightly, after which, using a meat grinder or blender, we make the mass more homogeneous. We spread the resulting mixture in a pan of a suitable size and additionally season with vegetable oil, sugar and salt.

We turn on the gas and, stirring constantly, bring the mass to a boil, after which we reduce the heat to a minimum. Caviar should languish for about 1.5 hours, while stirring it periodically. Do not be afraid that at first it will seem too liquid. After this time, powdered pepper (red and black) and tomato paste are added to the composition, after which the mass is continued to cook for another 1.5 hours. I advise you to taste the caviar, if there is not enough salt, it should be added at this very moment. With a lack of salt, caviar will not only lose its taste, but will also be worse stored in winter.

If everything is done correctly, then after more than three hours of cooking, the consistency of caviar should resemble rustic sour cream.

Approximately 10 minutes before the end of cooking, vinegar essence and garlic gruel are added to the composition. If you add garlic before, the flavor will not be tart enough.

Especially make sure that the mass does not burn, otherwise the caviar will taste bitter.

Step five

It is better to take care of the preparation of glass jars in advance. First they need to be washed properly, and then sterilized in a water bath.

Caviar is laid in them hot after cooking. Immediately after this, the jars are hermetically rolled up, turned upside down, wrapped in a towel or blanket, leaving them like this until they cool completely.

In winter, blanks are best stored in the basement. For short-term storage, you can use the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

In winter, when the blood runs cold in your veins, something must help you warm up. And fill you up with vitamins. Take out a jar with the inscription "Spicy zucchini caviar" and you will immediately feel warmer.

    Spicy caviar from zucchini for the winter - a delicious recipe

    Zucchini caviar is a relatively inexpensive and tasty preparation, which in most cases can be bought at the nearest chain store. But you must admit that homemade zucchini caviar is much tastier and, moreover, does not contain artificial preservatives and additives.

    Read on Dacha6.ru:

    Ingredients

    To prepare caviar, we need only fresh vegetables, as they contain a large amount of vitamins and microelements useful for humans. We will need:

  • Fresh zucchini (or zucchini) - 4 kg;
  • carrots - 2 kg;
  • bell pepper - 4 pieces;
  • onions - 1 kg;
  • tomato paste - 500 g;
  • sunflower oil - 250 g;
  • garlic - 150 g;
  • ground black pepper - 1 tsp;
  • ground red pepper - 1 tsp;
  • vinegar essence (70-80%) - 1 tbsp. l.;
  • salt - 1.5 tbsp. l.;
  • granulated sugar - 2 tsp.
  • For bulk harvesting, it is sometimes beneficial to use zucchini when their price drops sharply in the second half of summer. But it is better to make small-sized homemade zucchini, the skin of which has not yet had time to harden much, and the seeds inside have not formed.

    Step one

    Rinse the zucchini under running water to remove any remaining dirt from them. It is better to cut off the superficial skin with a sharp knife. You can basically not do this. But then the caviar will come out coarser in consistency. The middle compartment with the seed chamber must be cut out and discarded.

    It is best to cut the zucchini into cubes or small rings. At the end of the procedure, they are fried in a frying pan over low heat using a small amount of vegetable oil. As a result, they should not turn out to be very fried, you just need to sweat them to soften.

    step two

    While the zucchini is languishing, in a frying pan, in parallel, we begin to perform the following steps:

  • Peel and finely chop the onion. First, I recommend placing it in the freezer for 2-3 minutes - you won’t cry and it will be easier to cut into even pieces.
  • We clean the garlic cloves, wash them and pass through the garlic press.
  • We wash each bell pepper, cut it in half, take out the partitions and seeds and cut into smaller pieces.
  • We wash and clean the carrots, rub it on a standard grater (not fine!).
  • Step Three

    Let the chopped bell pepper and onion in sunflower oil and put in a saucepan with a spoon with holes. Fry the carrots in the remaining oil.

    Step Four

    Mix prepared zucchini, carrots, sweet peppers, onions and mix well. We give the composition to cool slightly, after which, using a meat grinder or blender, we make the mass more homogeneous. We spread the resulting mixture in a pan of a suitable size and additionally season with vegetable oil, sugar and salt.

    We turn on the gas and, stirring constantly, bring the mass to a boil, after which we reduce the heat to a minimum. Caviar should languish for about 1.5 hours, while stirring it periodically. Do not be afraid that at first it will seem too liquid. After this time, powdered pepper (red and black) and tomato paste are added to the composition, after which the mass is continued to cook for another 1.5 hours. I advise you to taste the caviar, if there is not enough salt, it should be added at this very moment. With a lack of salt, caviar will not only lose its taste, but will also be worse stored in winter.

    If everything is done correctly, then after more than three hours of cooking, the consistency of caviar should resemble rustic sour cream.

    Approximately 10 minutes before the end of cooking, vinegar essence and garlic gruel are added to the composition. If you add garlic before, the flavor will not be tart enough.

    Especially make sure that the mass does not burn, otherwise the caviar will taste bitter.

    It is better to take care of the preparation of glass jars in advance. First they need to be washed properly, and then sterilized in a water bath.

    Caviar is laid in them hot after cooking. Immediately after this, the jars are hermetically rolled up, turned upside down, wrapped in a towel or blanket, leaving them like this until they cool completely.

    In winter, blanks are best stored in the basement. For short-term storage, you can use the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

    Step 1: Prepare the zucchini.

    Zucchini, that's where strong hands are most needed. After all, these vegetables have a rather thick skin, which must be carefully cut with a knife. Then, for convenience, each vegetable must be divided into halves and cleaned of seeds and partitions. As a result, you will get a clean squash pulp.

    Step 3: Prepare the carrots.



    Be sure to rinse the carrots before peeling, then remove the skin from the root crops with a knife and rinse the vegetables again, after peeling. Grind the prepared carrots in the same way as the onions and zucchini.
