&171;Mother-in-law's tongue&187; from zucchini without vinegar for winter
The original recipe for "Mother-in-law's tongue" involves slicing zucchini into thin plates. I offer you a simplified version of this snack - we will prepare a "Mother-in-law's tongue" in the form of a salad. I don't use vinegar on purpose to make the snack as healthy as possible.
Ingredients
- Zucchini - 1 kg
- Tomatoes - 1 kg
- Bell pepper - 2 pcs.
- Garlic - 3 cloves
- Sugar - 75 g
- Salt - 1 tbsp.l.
- Sunflower oil - 70 ml
- Chili pepper (ground) – 0,5 tsp.
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Cut the tomatoes into 4 parts, peel the bell pepper from the seeds and chop coarsely, chop the garlic. Chop the vegetables in a blender or pass through a meat grinder.
Put the vegetable mass in a cooking pot, add sunflower oil, sugar, salt and ground chili pepper. Boil the mixture over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring, so that the mass does not burn.
Cut the zucchini into small pieces. If you use young fruits, it is not necessary to peel the skin.
Put the pieces of zucchini in a saucepan with other vegetables and simmer together for half an hour.
Pour the hot mixture into pre-sterilized jars, roll up and leave to cool completely in the upside-down position.
In this recipe, I do not use vinegar as a preservative, so I advise you to keep the "Mother-in-law's tongue" from zucchini in the refrigerator and use it for 2 months.
