Squash caviar through a meat grinder without tomatoes

Zucchini is perhaps the most affordable and productive vegetable. It is also not whimsical in cultivation, so our housewives are sure to find a place for such a wonderful product in their garden. A variety of dishes can be prepared from zucchini. These are baked zucchini, grilled zucchini, various snacks and even desserts.

Today I will tell you how you can quickly prepare a delicious snack for the winter, using all the available ingredients.

For the preparation of squash caviar, in addition to products, we will also need a meat grinder, a large saucepan with a thick bottom and small sterilized jars with lids.

So, first you need to thoroughly wash all the vegetables.
In young zucchini, we cut off only the stalk. If you already have later and overripe zucchini, then they need to be peeled and freed from seeds.
Carrots, onions and garlic are cleaned.

We cut all the vegetables into small pieces so that it is convenient to send them to the meat grinder.

In the meat grinder, we use a conventional nozzle, the one with which you twist minced meat for cutlets. Scroll through all the prepared vegetables. It turns out mashed potatoes.
Add vegetable oil to the vegetable puree.

Take a saucepan with a thick bottom and pour our mashed potatoes into it. Simmer the caviar for 3 hours, stirring occasionally, so that it does not burn. There should be a "barely noticeable boiling".

10 minutes before the end of cooking, add pepper, sugar, salt and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly and gently so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed in our caviar.

Add vinegar and mix again. Let the "bubbling" appear and turn off the stove.

Our caviar is ready! now it remains to transfer it to the prepared sterilized small jars.

We close the jars with sterilized lids, turn them upside down and wrap them with a blanket or a warm towel. We leave it in this state overnight until it cools down completely.

We store such caviar in a dark, cool place. But it's better to eat it chilled!
I often use it as a snack. Preheat a slice of black bread in a toaster and spread with chilled caviar. You just can't imagine how delicious it is! Bon appetit!
