Today we will prepare a very tasty and aromatic vegetable seasoning for the winter.

It is perfect as a dressing for first and second courses, as well as an independent vegetable side dish for meat, poultry and fish.

But you can eat it even just with a piece of bread - very tasty!

LIST OF INGREDIENTS

Seasoning yield – 3/3.5 l

  • 2.5 kg tomatoes
  • 0.5 kg sweet red pepper
  • 0.5 kg carrots
  • 0.5 kg onions
  • 0.5 kg sour apples
  • 1 red hot pepper
  • 200 g garlic
  • 200 g vegetable oil
  • 60 g salt (1.5 heaped tablespoons)
  • 120 g sugar (4-5 tbsp)

Preparation for the winter - POLTAVA SEASONING, recipe without vinegar and sterilization - STEP-BY-STEP RECIPE

We will need ripe tomatoes, onions, carrots, sweet and hot peppers, garlic and sour apples.

All vegetables need to be washed and peeled if necessary.

Peel the onions and carrots and cut into arbitrary large pieces, such that it is convenient to grind in a meat grinder.

You can use either fresh or dried red hot pepper; remove the core and chop coarsely.

It is better to choose sour apples, cut them into quarters, remove the core, do not peel the skin.

Since the recipe contains neither vinegar nor essence, it is apples and tomatoes that will give this seasoning a pleasant sourness.

We cut apples, like vegetables, into large pieces.

Since we will also be passing the tomatoes through a meat grinder, for this recipe you can safely use any substandard tomatoes – very large, overripe, slightly cracked or shapeless.

Remove the stems of the tomatoes and chop them as desired.

We remove the core of the sweet red bell pepper, remove the seeds and also coarsely chop it, like the rest of the products.

I have prepared the vegetables, and we will deal with the garlic a little later.

We install a regular middle grill on the meat grinder and grind all the vegetables.

I immediately roll them into the pan in which I will boil the seasoning.

You will find the list of ingredients for this seasoning, as usual, at the end of the video and in the description.

For this amount of food you will need dishes with a volume of at least 5 liters.

We cranked all the vegetables, add salt and sugar to the pan, mix well and place on the stove. We will add oil and garlic later.

Bring the mixture to a boil, turn down the heat, note the time and simmer the seasoning for 1.5 hours, while stirring the mixture periodically.

For better evaporation of moisture, do not cover the pan with a lid.

Heating over low heat allows you to achieve an excellent result - the products are boiled down, all the tastes and aromas are mixed, and as a result the seasoning turns out to be quite thick and rich.

While the vegetable mixture is cooking, peel the garlic.

When we make preparations for the winter, sometimes we have to peel a lot of garlic; this is a tedious task, especially if the cloves are small.

But there is a great way to easily peel garlic.

To do this, divide the heads of garlic into cloves and fill them with hot water, so that your finger can tolerate it, this is about 50 - 60°C degrees.

Leave the garlic in the water for 15-20 minutes.

Then drain the water and easily peel the garlic.

With this method, the husk is saturated with water, becomes soft, elastic and very easily removed.

This method is perfect for preparations with a large amount of garlic - adjika, seasonings, etc., and you can peel the garlic the day before, put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator.

Don't forget to rinse the peeled garlic.

After an hour and a half, the vegetable mixture has boiled down well and now it’s time to add the garlic and oil.

The garlic must be chopped in any way convenient for you - through a press, on a grater or, in my case, using a blender.

Pour the garlic into the blender bowl, chop it lightly, add vegetable oil and bring the mixture to a homogeneous consistency.

With this method, the garlic is perfectly chopped and no large pieces remain.

Place the resulting garlic oil in a saucepan, mix well, note the time and cook for another 1 hour.

At this moment, an extraordinary aroma will spread throughout the house, which will simply make your mouth water...

The main thing is not to lose consciousness, because... we still need to prepare the jars.

Use jars of any capacity, I’ll take 350 ml, which need to be washed well and sterilized.

As a rule, I sterilize them in the microwave - it's quick and very simple.

We place clean jars in the microwave at full power for 4-5 minutes; there is no need to pour water into them; they are sterilized with dry heat.

I boiled the lids separately and dried them.

The seasoning is completely ready, pour it into jars, trying to fill them as much as possible.

Since these jars have a rather narrow neck, I find it more convenient to use a watering can with a wide neck.

Mix the seasoning well before filling another jar.

Screw the jars tightly and turn them over, leave them in the kitchen until completely cooled, no need to wrap them.

Depending on the juiciness of the products and the weight of the waste during cleaning, this amount of ingredients produces from 3 to 3.5 liters of finished seasoning.

I usually close 9-10 350 ml jars.

The seasoning is very tasty, aromatic and greatly stimulates the appetite.

In 2.5 hours it boils down well, it turns out quite thick, but at the same time it is easily poured into jars, and after cooling it will thicken a little more.

You can store this preparation either in a cool place or at room temperature, and an open jar should be kept in the refrigerator, although the seasoning is so tasty that it does not stay there for a long time.

I really hope that you will also like this seasoning, I wish you successful preparations and bon appetit to everyone!
