Three stages of cooking a garden miracle
The process of preparing a salad will require patience, inspiration and skill. And spice up your dish with love for those for whom you are preparing it.
Stage 1: preparing vegetables
It will require patience and hard work from the performer:
- Wash the cucumbers in plenty of cold water, cut off their ends, grate them on a coarse grater. You can use any vegetables in the salad (large, overripe, crooked).
- Scrape the skin off the carrots and grate the vegetable on a coarse grater.
- Peel and chop the onions. In order not to shed tears when working with onions, soak them in cold water after peeling.
- Wash the bell pepper, cut the stalks, remove the seeds.
- Puree the tomato. To do this, make several cuts on the fruits. Pour boiling water over them, rinse in cold water. After such processing, peel the skin off the tomatoes without much difficulty. Use a blender to puree the tomatoes.
Stage 2: direct preparation
Choose a suitable container. A frying pan with a thick bottom is suitable for a small volume; for a large one, take a cauldron. Fry carrots and onions in vegetable oil until golden brown. After a few minutes, add the grated cucumbers and chopped peppers.
Simmer vegetables for five minutes, add tomato puree. Salt everything, add sugar, simmer for another 30 minutes over low heat.
Stage 3: packaging and seaming
Pack the hot salad in sterilized jars and roll them up. Turn the jars upside down and wrap them up. In this position, let it stand until it cools down, then return it to its original position. The salad is perfectly stored at room temperature (preferably in a dark place).
Containers with such blanks are emptied very quickly. Serve the salad on a festive table, for a friendly get-together, for a family dinner, or simply eat with boiled potatoes. This is delicious!
