For preservation, it is necessary to sterilize the jars, lids, and ladle with which the squash caviar is poured. If there are a lot of jars, it is easiest to sterilize them in electric oven. Place the jars in a cold oven, turn on the heat at 140 degrees. When the oven is hot, keep the jars in the oven for 10 minutes.

In this recipe I will write the secrets of making perfect squash caviar. Knowing these secrets, you will prepare 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 ask 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 the zucchini. The zucchini must be fresh, that is, picked recently, a day ago. To determine freshness, look at the stem. It should be green and juicy. If the stalk begins to dry out and turn brown, then such a zucchini has already been picked a long time ago.

Ingredients:

  • zucchini - 1 kg
  • carrots - 300 gr.
  • onions - 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)

Method for preparing caviar, as in the store:

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

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

2. So that the caviar does not cook for a long time, but at the same time it turns out thick, the chopped zucchini needs to be salted and mixed. For 1 kg of zucchini, take 1 level tablespoon of salt. Leave the salted zucchini for 20 minutes. During this time, the salt will draw juice out of the vegetables, which will not need to be used when cooking.

3. Carrots will give the caviar a sweetish taste and Orange color. It needs to be peeled and cut into cubes. Don't 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 remove the skin easily, make a cross-shaped cut on the top of the tomato. Then pour boiling water for 30 seconds, drain and cool cold water. After such a contrasting procedure, you can easily remove the skin with your hands.

Cut the tomatoes into cubes, approximately 1 x 1 cm.

6.When the zucchini has stood, drain the juice that has separated from it and squeeze it out with your hands like a sponge.

7. Vegetables need to be fried separately, because they have different structures and different time preparations. If you have three frying pans on the household, then they will come in handy now. If not, fry the vegetables one at a time. There is no need to make the caviar too fatty, so pour 1-2 tbsp into the pan. oils Wait until the oil warms up well. Fry until full readiness not necessary, because the vegetables will still be stewed together.

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

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

9.Take a saucepan with a thick bottom and pour vegetable oil into it (about 3 tbsp). Spread the oil over the bottom of the pan to prevent the vegetables from burning. Place all the fried vegetables into the pan.

10.Use an immersion blender to blend all the vegetables into a smooth mixture. You can also use a meat grinder, but in this case the texture will not be as uniform as that obtained when using a blender.

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

12.Put the caviar on the fire and let it boil. Reduce heat to low. Now comes the boiling stage, when the caviar needs to be brought to the desired consistency. During simmering, all excess liquid will evaporate. Simmer the caviar with the lid open. If you close the lid, the condensation 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 add salt (about 1 teaspoon of salt per 1 kg of zucchini). Also add ground black pepper. To prevent caviar from exploding and to keep well, add half a teaspoon of citric acid, as well as 1 teaspoon of sugar for balance. For piquancy, you can add a couple of sprigs of greenery (finely chopped), if you like. But this is not at all necessary. Boil the caviar, boil for another 5 minutes and you can put it in sterilized jars. Do not turn off the heat, put boiling caviar into the jars!

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

The finished caviar will be thick. It falls from the spoon in large drops, but does not run off. Don’t forget to sterilize the lid and pour boiling water over the ladle you will use to pour the caviar.

14. All that remains is to turn the finished preserve over and wrap it in a blanket. Leave the caviar to cool completely. This is a recipe for truly delicious caviar, thick and bright. You can also safely call it “finger-licking good”, I recommend it.

Squash caviar for the winter according to GOST

The recipe according to GOST contains a minimum number of ingredients. This is zucchini caviar, which means there should be more zucchini than other vegetables. In addition to zucchini, you also need to take onions and carrots in certain proportions (it is better to use a kitchen scale to accurately determine the weight of peeled vegetables). Tomatoes are not used, but tomato paste is added, which according to GOST should be 30%.

If you add fresh tomatoes, the caviar will be more liquid and will need to be boiled longer to reach the desired consistency.

Vinegar essence or ordinary table vinegar 9% is used as a preservative. Using vinegar you will be sure that the jars will not explode.

Ingredients(vegetables are weighed in peeled form):

  • zucchini - 3 kg
  • carrots - 1 kg
  • onions - 800 gr.
  • refined vegetable oil - 300 ml
  • tomato paste - 3 tbsp. with a slide
  • garlic - 6 cloves (optional)
  • parsley or celery root - 1 tbsp. (grated)
  • salt - 1 tbsp. no slide
  • sugar - 1.5 tbsp. (38 gr.)
  • vinegar essence 70% - 1 tbsp. (at least 1 tsp)
  • ground black pepper - to taste
  • ground allspice - to taste

Cooking method:

1. It is better to take young zucchini for caviar. If you only managed to find old ones, then cut off their peel, cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Young ones can be used entirely without removing anything.

2.Cut the zucchini into cubes. Peel the carrots and onions. Chop the onion coarsely, small ones can be cut into 8 pieces, grate the carrots on a coarse grater or cut into slices. Finely chop or grate the parsley root.

3.Pour half of the odorless vegetable oil into the frying pan and heat it well. Place all the zucchini in the pan to fry. Cook the zucchini over medium heat with the lid open, stirring occasionally. Vegetables will shrink in size and release juice, which will partially evaporate. The zucchini will be translucent and soft in the end.

4.Place the zucchini in a thick-bottomed pan along with the oil in which they were fried.

5. Pour the second half of the vegetable oil into the vacated frying pan and heat it well. Add the chopped carrots and fry them over medium heat for 5 minutes with the lid open. Next, add chopped parsley root to the carrots, stir and continue frying for another 5 minutes.

6.Add onion to the frying vegetables, stir, cover and cook for another 20 minutes. Stir the vegetables periodically to prevent them from burning.

7.Pour the fried onions and carrots into the pan with the zucchini along with the oil. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

8.Put the caviar on low heat to simmer in a saucepan under closed lid for 30 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally, otherwise it will burn. Be sure to take a pan with a thick bottom.

9.When the vegetables are stewed together, use an immersion blender to turn them into a homogeneous puree. You can also use a food processor (you will need to transfer the caviar into it) or a meat grinder.

10.Add salt, sugar, ground black pepper and allspice to taste, tomato paste, stir.

11.Over low heat, stirring occasionally, cook the caviar for another 30 minutes. The lid should be slightly open so that the water evaporates faster. If you cook with the lid open, the caviar will shoot out, which will lead to contamination of the kitchen. Cook the caviar to the desired consistency.

12. Squeeze the garlic into the caviar through a press and pour in acetic acid. Minimal amount vinegar essence for this amount of caviar - 1 teaspoon. Vinegar is needed to ensure the safety of caviar in jars. Stir and cook the caviar under the lid for another 10 minutes, no more. Be sure to taste for salt and sugar and balance the taste if necessary. If it is very sour, you can add sugar. Don't forget to sterilize the jars and lids.

13.Place hot caviar into jars and seal with hot, sterile lids. Turn over and wrap in a blanket, leave to cool completely. So the real squash caviar is ready, delicious, just like in childhood.

Recipes

Extremely popular squash caviar with mayonnaise and tomato paste, which in this example we will make it for the winter, that is, we will close it in sterilized jars.

Yes, it sounds kind of strange. Okay, everything is clear with tomato paste, but why is there mayonnaise here? Honestly, I wondered this question too. I was especially taken aback when this recipe was always called “a taste from childhood.”

But as soon as you try this caviar, everything becomes clear - very, very tasty, the most delicious squash caviar! Mayonnaise adds additional tenderness; it itself is practically not felt, but at the same time the taste of the dish becomes more multifaceted. Also, mayonnaise plays the role of a kind of preservative, because it contains vinegar.

Yes, someone will start talking about harm, carcinogens from heating, chemistry, and so on and so forth. After searching the Internet, I found...I didn't find anything. There is no evidence of direct harm from this product. And there are no trans fats either, since the basis of mayonnaise is vegetable oil (sunflower or olive) and eggs (powdered dried yolks).

So, if you want something very tasty and original, take a closer look at this recipe - you won’t regret it!

Required ingredients:

  • Zucchini (zucchini) – 3 kg.
  • Onions – 500 g.
  • Tomato paste – 160 g.
  • Mayonnaise – 200 g.
  • Vegetable oil – 9 tbsp. spoon;
  • Salt – 2 tbsp. spoons;
  • Sugar – 2 tbsp. spoons;
  • Ground black pepper – 0.5-1 teaspoon (to taste);
  • Vinegar (9%) – 2 tbsp. spoons;

Recipe through a meat grinder

We wash the zucchini; if the skin is hard, it should be removed. Cut into halves, clean out the seeds (especially when they are dense and large), cut into small cubes.

Specifically in this recipe we will grind all the vegetables using a meat grinder. If you don’t have it, then it doesn’t matter, you can grate the zucchini. It will take longer, but the final result will not change.

We twisted the zucchini and it turned out to be such a full bowl.

The onions need to be peeled and grated in the same way, and then put through a meat grinder. We do not pour the resulting juice anywhere - it is this that will give our dish a wonderful taste and aroma.

Take a large saucepan and place the zucchini and onions in it. Turn on low heat and leave the vegetables for about 1 hour. During cooking, the zucchini will release a lot of liquid, and we just need to wait until it thickens and becomes soft. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent anything from burning on the bottom.

This is how it turns out to be a thick and gurgling mass that fills the whole house with an amazing fragrance.

Now is the time to add sauces and spices. Add mayonnaise, tomato paste, salt, sugar, pepper and butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture has a uniform consistency and color. Leave to cook for another 30-35 minutes over low heat with constant stirring.

The color has changed, from a pinkish tint to orange, the same one that we see in stores.

At the very end, add 2 tablespoons of 9 percent vinegar, mix well and after 2-3 minutes remove from heat.

We sterilize jars. To do this, you can pour a little water on the bottom and put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes at a temperature of 160 degrees. You can simply dip both the jars and the lids in boiling water for a couple of minutes.

Use a ladle to fill the jars almost to the brim. Cover with lids and close.

From 3 kg. zucchini yields approximately 2.5 liters of zucchini caviar. Agree, what a savings, especially if you buy vegetables in season or use them from your own garden.

Squash caviar in a slow cooker

Cooking in a slow cooker is no different from cooking on the stove. The principles and steps are the same.

But as an example, I will share one very interesting option. Keep in mind that you can easily change it to suit your personal taste by adding or subtracting something from the composition.

Required Products:

  • Medium zucchini – 2 kg.
  • Carrots – 4-5 pcs.
  • Bell pepper – 2-3 pcs.
  • Garlic – 1 head;
  • Tomato paste – 4 tbsp. spoons;
  • Cucumber pickle – 100 ml.
  • Sugar – 1 tbsp. spoon;
  • Salt – 0.5 teaspoon;
  • Vinegar 9% – 1.5 tbsp. spoons;
  • Mustard oil– 5 tbsp. spoon;

Cooking process

  1. Peel the zucchini, remove large seeds from it, and cut into small cubes. Chop the rest of the vegetables.
  2. Pour mustard oil into the multicooker bowl and add the vegetables. Bring to a boil in the “paste” or “cooking” mode. Then switch to stewing mode, add salt, sugar, tomato paste and brine.
  3. Close, wait about 50-55 minutes. Finally add vinegar and puree using a blender.

If you do not plan to store this for the winter, or cook without sterilization, then you don’t have to add vinegar. Just fill the jars, cool and put in the refrigerator, covering with a lid.

  • First I want to give a little warning. Be careful with hot vegetable mixture during cooking (stewing), especially when you have already pureed it. Even if the pan is on low heat, bubbles may form, causing splatter to splatter in all directions. Not only can you stain the walls and ceiling, you can also get a small burn. Take care of your eyes! And always cover the lid lightly (halfway) to catch all the splashes.
  • Want something spicy? Add chili pepper, ground red, mustard or mustard powder, ground coriander, grated horseradish or adjika.
  • By adding different oils, you can greatly diversify the taste! Mustard oil, unrefined sunflower oil, camelina oil - each has its own unique aroma and flavor notes.
  • Nothing prevents you from adding cabbage (white or cauliflower) to the zucchini; of course, it will no longer be whole zucchini caviar, but it will still turn out very tasty.
