How much to cook and whether to sterilize

 

The taste of the cooked dish depends on many circumstances: the right good zucchini, the method of preparing vegetables, chopping zucchini mass and time for boiling caviar. Vegetable cooking is divided into two stages: before chopping and after it. For the first time, cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes until the zucchini, tomato or carrot is completely softened. The second time we grind the mass in a blender or meat grinder on the stove for 10-15 minutes. This is done in order to let the vegetables stomp, extract more juice from them and mix with spices. Many housewives are concerned about the question of whether squash caviar should be rolled up in sterilized jars and cleaned for the winter, or whether it can be served immediately. The best recipes for cooking caviar include rolling cooked food. It is advisable to arrange the sterilization of the jars so that extra microorganisms do not penetrate there, and the caviar does not disappear.

Some secrets of cooking caviar

To make the homemade blank soft, tender and very tasty, it is important not to miscalculate the choice of ingredients and balance the spices. Here are some recommendations to help you make a decent snack on the festive table.

  1. For cooking and stewing, use pots with a thick bottom. The cookware material must be made of either cast iron or stainless steel. Thus, the caviar mass will be distributed evenly over the pan, and the taste will be more saturated.
  2. Do not use enameled pots during cooking, otherwise the caviar in them will burn.
  3. Best of all, a blender handles the task of chopping products. When scrolling through the meat grinder, the vegetable mass will not be homogeneous, anyway, some large pieces will remain.
  4. Young zucchini can not be peeled, but large and old need to get rid of thick peels and seeds.

The question of whether a real tasty squash game turned out can be solved by its color: for the best snack, the color should be light brown. If the caviar is of this shade, there is no excess liquid in it and it is of excellent density (when the spoon is turned over, the caviar slowly drains), know that you have prepared the perfect squash caviar.
