Zucchini Caviar

My whole family and I really love caviar made according to this recipe. Recipe is designed for 7 jars of 0.5 liters each. I almost always end up with 6 jars, as the rest of the caviar is eaten by family members during the cooking process... It turns out very delicious!

Zucchinis

12 cups (clean weight)

Sunflower Oil

1 cup (200 ml)

Onion

4 cups

Tomato Paste

2 cups ("Chumak")

Mayonnaise

180 g (1 small tube)

Sugar

1/2 cup

Salt

2 tbsp

To prepare zucchini caviar, wash zucchinis, peel, and remove the seeds. Grate them coarsely and let sit for 30 minutes. Do not drain the juice. Pour sunflower oil into a saucepan (cast iron or with a thick bottom), heat it well, add zucchinis and stew them for 30 minutes.

Then add fried onions, tomato paste, mayonnaise, and sugar. Mix everything and stew for 2-3 hours over low heat, stirring occasionally (it is preferable to use a splitter).

For those who like it spicy, you can add 2-3 heads of chopped garlic 15 minutes before it's done (I personally prefer it without).
