In winter, the human body's defenses weaken, since in the cold season the diet is not as enriched with fresh vegetables and fruits as necessary. Adjika Ogonyok without cooking without tomatoes, garlic and red bell pepper, which are a storehouse of vitamins and minerals, will help correct the situation. And if you prepare food for the winter according to this recipe, all the beneficial substances will be preserved in such products due to the fact that they are not thermally processed or preserved at all.

But despite this, adjika “Ogonyok” can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 year without cooking. The vinegar in the composition helps to extend its service life. It does not “kill” the beneficial components in vegetables, but at the same time, it is a reliable natural preservative that prevents them from spoiling or molding.

Recently they began to add tomatoes to this dish. But they ferment. Therefore, the real classic recipe for adjika Ogonyok is meant without tomatoes.

ON A NOTE! It is believed that adjika Ogonyok improves immunity. Therefore, its frequent use in winter will make colds and flu less scary. With a stomach ulcer, as well as intestinal diseases, it is not recommended to eat this dish in the acute stage.

“Ogonyok” sauce for the winter without cooking was called “St. John’s wort” in the old way. Our grandmothers often prepared it in Soviet times, using it in the kitchen in various variations.

So, it can be added to some soups as a dressing. For example, it will give borscht such a piquant, appetizing taste and aroma that you will lick your fingers. Or, in winter, for soup, kharcho is an indispensable seasoning with an already existing spicy garlic flavor.

It’s very tasty to simply spread such a hot preparation on black or white bread and eat it with any meat dish. And adding chopped herbs and grated fresh tomatoes to it in winter will awaken a beastly appetite, as the aroma will become indescribable.

In winter, it will also help out in preparing spicy sauerkraut salads. If you add onion and “Spark” to it, you will be able to make an appetizing snack.

This adjika is also convenient to use for making homemade kim-chi (chim-cha). Peking cabbage is soaked in “Ogonyok” and the result is a delicious spicy dish.

And what a delight it turns out when you add chopped fresh herbs to such adjika in winter!

Thus, this blank is universal. And you can imagine endlessly where to use it.

Recipe for adjika “Ogonyok” without cooking without tomatoes

This sauce or appetizer is prepared quickly and easily. In about 30 minutes, excluding settling, you can make a 2-liter jar, which will last one small family for the whole winter and the beginning of spring.

Kitchen equipment you will need is a meat grinder. You don't need any more complicated devices.

List of required products

To make Ogonyok without cooking for the winter, you must follow the proportions. Then the preparation will turn out tasty, healthy and will be stored for a long time.

To release a 2-liter adjika cylinder you will need:

• salt - to taste (added 2 tbsp in the recipe);
• vinegar essence (70%) – 2 des. l.;
• garlic – 400 g;
• red fleshy bell pepper – 2 kg;
• hot capsicum – 3-5 pcs.
• sugar – 2 tbsp. l.

NOTE! Vinegar essence should be handled with extreme caution. She is very concentrated. It can seriously burn you. If there is no 70% option, then focus on the fact that in 8 tbsp. l. 9% vinegar includes 1 tbsp. l. essences and 7 tbsp. l. water. That is, the ratio is 1 to 7.

The process of preparing Ogonyok for the winter without cooking and tomatoes

Take 3-4 cups, 2 of which should have a volume of more than 2 liters. The following steps follow:

1. Soak the garlic for 10-15 minutes in a small container. This will make it easier for the husk to come off.
   
2. Clean and rinse.
   
3. Place the red bell pepper in the sink and rinse, cutting it in half and removing the seeds. Place in a large cup.
   
4. In the same way, we remove the seeds from the hot peppers. In this recipe, a green variety was added for contrast, but it would be better if it was red. When you plan to make adjika not hot, skip this step and do not add the component to Ogonyok. Garlic without it will also give a slight pungency.
5. Grind the washed and peeled bell peppers through a meat grinder. We use a small nozzle. Place the mixture into a large container.
   
6. Afterwards, immediately grind the garlic and, if necessary, hot pepper in a meat grinder. Its quantity can be taken based on individual taste. The more you add, the spicier the adjika will turn out.
7. Place everything in a cup with red bell pepper.
8. Add salt to taste, sugar, vinegar and mix well.
9. Leave “Ogonyok” to stand in the kitchen at room temperature for 1-2 days. Adjika should ferment slightly.
10. As small bubbles begin to appear, transfer to a jar, close it with a plastic lid and place in the refrigerator.

You cannot keep adjika made from pepper and garlic for the winter so that it ferments too much. In this case, it will turn sour and its quality will deteriorate. It needs to be put away in a cool place in time.

As you can see, all the steps are extremely simple. After preparation, Ogonyok can be used at your discretion. Did you like the recipe? Leave your opinion or feedback in the comments.

Ingredients

Adjika Ogonyok for the winter - recipe

Let's prepare all the necessary ingredients for preparing adjika. It is very important to choose all the products correctly, especially hot chili peppers. When choosing it, pay attention to density and aroma. The same applies to bell peppers, which are better to take the freshest and crunchiest. Choose sweet, rich red tomatoes.

First of all, we wash all the purchased tomatoes in cold water, then cut them in half with a sharp knife and remove the stems. You should not use overripe or even slightly spoiled vegetables to prepare adjika.

Place all the bell peppers in a clean sink, fill it with water and rinse thoroughly. Now, using a small knife, carefully cut out the stalk along with the seeds from each fruit as shown in the photo.

Carefully wash the red hot pepper; it is best to do this while wearing gloves. We also peel the garlic.

All prepared ingredients must be passed through a meat grinder in portions, all chopped vegetables are placed in a deep pan, and the specified amount of salt is added there. Cover the pan with a lid or a clean, thin cloth, and then leave to ferment for the next 3-4 days. Every day, gently stir the adjika in the pan two or three times.

Wash the jars thoroughly with soda and then sterilize them, pour infused aromatic adjika into them and screw the lids tightly. We send the jars of adjika for storage in the refrigerator. Homemade adjika “Ogonyok” is ready for the winter without cooking.
