Recipes for making eggplant caviar for the winter. Eggplant caviar We prepare caviar from eggplants and zucchini quickly and tasty

If you have not yet managed to master all the eggplants of the current harvest, then let's prepare them in one more form. Recently I gave a recipe, and today I want to suggest preparing them in the form of eggplant caviar.

Vegetable caviar is a very popular way to prepare food for winter. You can cook or - regardless of the starting products, the result is a dish that is easy to store, tasty to eat and not embarrassing to serve.

Eggplant caviar for the winter: recipe with photo through a meat grinder

First, according to tradition, I will write a classic recipe for eggplant caviar, so that the taste is what we are all accustomed to. In addition to the blue ones, it also contains tomatoes and bell peppers. Those who want the caviar to be spicy can add hot or hot pepper.

To obtain the desired consistency we will use a meat grinder.

Ingredients:

  • Eggplants – 1 kg
  • Tomatoes – 1kg
  • Bell pepper - 0.5 kg
  • Hot pepper (optional) - 1 pc.
  • Onions - 0.5 kg
  • Salt - 1 tbsp
  • Sugar - 3 tbsp
  • Garlic – 5 cloves
  • Ground black pepper - 1 tsp
  • Vegetable oil – 50 ml

The indicated ingredients are enough to fill 1 jar with a capacity of 0.7 liters.

Preparation:

First of all, you need to bake the eggplants. To do this, place them on a baking sheet with a small amount of vegetable oil and place them in the oven, preheated to 140-150 degrees for 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, don't forget to turn them over.

Don’t be bothered by the fact that they shrink and wrinkle; that’s not important in this recipe.

If the eggplants are very large, cut them in half


While the little blue ones are baking, let's take care of other vegetables.

The tomatoes will need to be peeled so that it does not spoil the consistency of the caviar. To do this, you need to immerse the tomatoes in boiling water for 10 seconds, and then transfer them to cold water.

After such an operation, the skin is removed very easily.

Then cut out the stalks of the tomatoes and put the tomatoes in a meat grinder.


Peppers and onions also need to be minced, but do not mix these vegetables into one mass, as they will need to be fried separately. Remove the seeds and membranes from the pepper first.

When the eggplants are baked, peel them and also grind them in a meat grinder.

If you decide to make caviar with hot pepper, then twist it together with Bulgarian


Take a large frying pan, pour vegetable oil into it and fry the peppers for 5 minutes over medium heat.

After this, add the onion to it and stir-fry for another 10 minutes.

Then put the eggplants in the pan and fry for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.


After this, pour the tomatoes into the frying pan, set the heat to low and simmer the caviar for another 20 minutes without covering with a lid to obtain a thick mass.

You may not have enough 20 minutes and the time will have to be increased by another 10-15 minutes. It depends on how much moisture was in the tomatoes


5 minutes before turning off the stove, add salt, sugar, chopped garlic and ground pepper to the eggplant caviar. Mix everything well and leave to cook for the remaining time.

Now all that remains is to spread the caviar in advance, close it tightly and leave to cool, wrapped in a blanket.


You can store jars at room temperature, but in a dark place without direct sunlight.

Eggplant caviar in a frying pan without sterilization

If you noticed, the previous recipe did not contain vinegar, which is usually added when canning. This is due to the fact that tomatoes contain ascorbic acid and, in general, do not need vinegar for preservation. But if you are used to putting vinegar in all your preparations for the winter, then a tablespoon per 1 liter jar will not hurt at all, adding another facet of taste to eggplant caviar.

This recipe is different in that we will not waste time at all on sterilizing jars and preparations. The same acid from tomatoes will help avoid fermentation processes in the jar.

However, the jars should be clean and washed with baking soda and a new sponge


Ingredients:

  • 4 kg eggplants
  • 1.5 kg onions
  • 2 kg bell pepper
  • 2 kg tomatoes
  • 1 head of garlic
  • Sunflower oil

The ingredients listed are for 3 liter jars.

We will not use a meat grinder and the eggplant caviar will come out in pieces. It is also sometimes called “Kuban”.

Preparation:

Peel the eggplants and cut into small cubes.

We will not soak the blue ones in salt water to remove bitterness, since this bitterness is mainly located in the peel


Then fry the eggplants in a frying pan with a little oil. 10 minutes of frying will be enough. After this, send them to the pan in which the vegetables will be stewed.

Fry the eggplants in small portions so that some are not overcooked and others are barely heated


Cut the onion into half rings and fry separately in a frying pan. When it turns golden, transfer it to the pan with the eggplants.


We peel the tomatoes in the same way as in the previous recipe, cut them into small cubes and add them to the pan with the eggplants raw without frying.


Remove the membranes and seeds from the pepper and cut it into small strips.

Then you need to fry it for 10 minutes and place it in the pan with the rest of the vegetables.


When all the ingredients are collected in a saucepan, place it over medium heat and bring to a boil. After this, reduce the heat to a minimum, add salt to taste (on average, one level tablespoon), stir and leave to simmer under the lid for 30 minutes.


When thirty minutes have passed, add chopped garlic, mix again and you can place the eggplant caviar in clean jars up to the neck.

Garlic is always added at the end so that it does not lose its flavor during cooking.


Since the jars are not sterilized and cold, pour the caviar carefully in small portions

Turn the jars over and leave to cool under the blanket. After which we store them in a dark place.

Eggplant caviar for the winter in a slow cooker: video recipe

Eggplant caviar with mayonnaise without vinegar

I consider the recipe with mayonnaise one of the most delicious and, to be honest, this is the only option I cook myself. Therefore, the amount of vegetables that I indicate in the ingredients is enough for as many as 10-11 half liter jars.

In this recipe we will fry each vegetable so that the eggplant caviar has a rich taste.

You can, of course, skip the frying stage and immediately start stewing, but then the caviar will taste like just boiled vegetables. And we cook for ourselves, so we won’t save time on important stages.


Ingredients:

  • 6 kg eggplants
  • 8 large onions
  • 8-10 large carrots
  • 3 heaped tablespoons salt
  • 7 tbsp sugar
  • 500 g tomato paste
  • 400 g mayonnaise

Preparation:

We will fry the vegetables in a deep frying pan, saucepan or wok and immediately before frying we will pour in one and a half glasses of sunflower oil. Don't worry, it's not much considering the amount of vegetables that need to be fried.

To prevent the oil from “shooting”, pour it into a hot frying pan, wait until it heats up and throw a pinch of salt there

First, finely chop and fry the carrots until golden brown over high heat.

After frying the carrots, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon. Try to get every single piece, because... Next, we will fry other vegetables here and we don’t need charred carrots.

The next step is to place the onion, also cut into small cubes, into the pan. Fry until golden brown over the same high heat.

When the onion is fried, remove it with a slotted spoon, trying to leave as much oil in the pan as possible.


Let's move on to processing the eggplants. We peel them, cut them into cubes and pour all 6 kilograms into the frying pan at once. Without reducing the heat, close the pan with a lid and leave the little blue ones to evaporate.

They contain a lot of moisture, so during the evaporation process they will lose a lot in volume and settle to the bottom. This whole process will take 10-15 minutes.


After this, open the lid and continue to keep the vegetables on high heat.

Do not try to completely evaporate the moisture and fry the eggplants - this is very difficult. The goal is for them to cook until done.

Remove the pan from the heat, add sugar and salt to it and add the previously fried onions and carrots.

Mix everything well.

Then you can choose two options for further processing of caviar: if you want it to be grainy, like store-bought caviar, pass it through a meat grinder. And if you want it to be more like puree, then puree it with a blender.

The photo shows an option for processing caviar with a blender.


Now add tomato paste and mayonnaise to the caviar and mix everything thoroughly again.

Mayonnaise gives caviar an extraordinary “silkyness”

And tomato paste contains ascorbic acid for sterilization, so it must be natural.

The final color of eggplant caviar is orange due to the carrots.


The further process is very important and takes time. First, we place the caviar in sterilized jars up to the shoulders, and then put the filled jars in the oven for sterilization.

Cover the jars in the oven with lids, but do not screw them on.

Do not place jars in a hot oven, otherwise they will burst due to temperature changes.

Turn on the oven when the jars are already in it, close the door, set it to 140 degrees and leave the jars to sterilize. For a 1 liter jar, 15 minutes will be enough, for a three liter jar it will take 40 minutes.


After this, carefully remove the eggplant caviar in jars from the oven, close the lids and leave to cool upside down.

The most delicious eggplant caviar: recipe with vinegar without tomatoes

This recipe came to us from the Balkan Peninsula and there it is called “Ajvar”. This is a very, very tasty caviar made from eggplant and sweet pepper. Before making a lot of preparations for the winter, make it in a small amount for testing. I will give you the ingredients just for one small “test jar”.


Ingredients:

  • Red sweet pepper (meaty) - 3 pcs.
  • Medium eggplants - 2 pcs.
  • Garlic – 5 cloves
  • Vinegar (wine, balsamic, 9%) - 2 tbsp
  • Salt - 1 tbsp without a slide
  • Sunflower oil – 75 ml

Ingredients for 1 0.5 liter jar

Preparation:

First, bake the eggplants and peppers. Set the oven temperature to 200 degrees, place a baking sheet with peppers and eggplants with a small amount of oil in it and set it aside for 50 minutes.

There is no need to peel the vegetables, just wash them. Bake whole


And in order to clean the baked pepper, put it while still hot in a plastic bag and close it for 5 minutes. The evaporated moisture will make it soggy and the peel will be easy to peel.

The seeds from the pepper also need to be removed by cutting it into several parts.


After this, the peppers and eggplants must be passed through a meat grinder.

We absolutely do not need the moisture that is released from the vegetables, so you can twist the vegetables directly into a colander so that it drains to the maximum.


Place the vegetables in a saucepan, add oil, vinegar and salt, put it on low heat and begin to simmer, stirring occasionally.


Since the heat is very low, it may take about an hour for all the liquid to evaporate.

When you see that the caviar is already at the desired consistency, add garlic passed through a garlic press, stir again and remove from heat.


If you have prepared a small amount of eggplant caviar, then transfer it to a clean jar, let it cool, cover with a plastic lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

And if you have prepared a large batch, then immediately transfer the hot mixture into sterilized jars, close the lids and leave to cool upside down under a blanket.

That's all I have for today. I hope you found the recipe that you liked the most.

Thank you for your attention.

Preparation:

To prepare caviar for the winter, we take only ripe and undamaged vegetables. Eggplants have a glossy surface and elastic flesh, fleshy tomatoes, lettuce onions are slightly bitter. We will cook in pieces, so we will cut all the ingredients into larger pieces.


Wash the eggplants, cut off the stem, peel and cut lengthwise into 4 pieces, and then crosswise into medium slices. Place in a bowl, add salt and leave for 20 minutes. During this time, juice will be released, which we then squeeze out with good effort. Eggplants are freed from bitterness, and in this pressed form they will absorb less oil during frying.


Remove the skins from fresh tomatoes. To do this, cut it crosswise and place it in boiling water. Hold for a few seconds and immediately transfer to a bowl of cold water, thereby stopping the cooking process of the tomato. The skin is easily removed.


Remove the place where the stalks attach to the fruit and cut into medium pieces.


Cut the onion into medium cubes.


Cut the hot red pepper into thin rings. The pepper seeds give all the heat to the dish, so it’s up to you to decide whether to leave them or remove them.


Pour oil into a deep frying pan and heat it up high. Add the onion and fry until golden brown.


Add the eggplants to the onions and fry everything together over medium heat. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Add hot peppers, tomatoes and salt. Now you can add your favorite spices. We won’t add anything to this recipe; it’s enough that hot peppers and garlic are already present here. Mix the entire vegetable mass and cook until tender, slightly bubbling with the lid open.


When the vegetables are almost ready, add young garlic, passed through a press. We also add sugar and vinegar, mix everything, and simmer until fully cooked.

Let's try. What a magical smell and the vegetables are so tasty and appetizing! And when the caviar is infused, it will cool down and become even more aromatic.


Place the hot mixture into hot sterilized jars, right up to the lid, leaving no room for air. Cover tightly with boiled lids. Cool.

To store caviar at home, you can use a cool loggia or put it on a shelf in the cellar.

Mix the eggplant mass thoroughly with a spoon or slotted spoon so that it does not burn. In a cauldron, bring the vegetable mass to a boil over low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste, close the cauldron with a heavy lid.

Simmer the caviar over low heat for about 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning. While the eggplant caviar is stewing, sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water.

Add garlic squeezed through a press to the caviar. Check for saltiness, mix well, close the cauldron with a lid. Simmer the eggplant caviar for another 10-15 minutes.

Pour half a tablespoon of vinegar into each pre-sterilized jar. Remove the lid from the cauldron, mix the caviar well and immediately place it in jars.

Roll up the eggplant caviar with lids, wrap it in a blanket, and leave until the jars cool. After cooling completely, transfer the eggplant caviar in jars to a dark, cool room. That's it, now delicious eggplant caviar will calmly stand all winter.

It turned out to be an excellent caviar for sandwiches or just an eggplant appetizer. This is achieved by the fact that the eggplants are not fried, but baked and then squeezed out of bitterness, the taste is delicate and pleasant.

Eggplant caviar for the winter like store-bought caviar is the simplest

  • 3 kg eggplant;
  • 1 kg carrots;
  • 1.5 kg of tomatoes;
  • 1 kg of onions;
  • 1 kg of sweet pepper (color is not important);
  • 2 level tablespoons of rock salt;
  • 250 ml refined vegetable oil.

The specified amount of vegetables yields 3 liters of finished caviar.

Preparation:

All vegetables should be washed well and the water should be allowed to drain. We cut off the tails of the eggplants and cut them directly with the peel into small cubes 1.5 by 1.5 cm. Most recipes recommend removing the skin, but I think it’s even tastier this way.

Then pour them into a large saucepan and fill with cold salted water (1 tablespoon per 1.5 liters of water). We do this so that the eggplants give up their bitterness. Leave the pan for 20-30 minutes. No need to put it in the refrigerator.

During this time we will have time to prepare other vegetables. Peel the carrots and grate them on a vegetable grater.

Cut the tomatoes into quarters (if the tomatoes are small) or randomly into small pieces. There’s no point in grinding them – we’ll be sautéing them anyway, so there’s no point in that.

Remove the seeds from the pepper and cut into small cubes about 1x1 cm. Cut the onion into cubes, just like the pepper.

Now all vegetables (except tomatoes) must be fried separately with refined sunflower oil. When frying, remember that vegetables take up a lot of oil, so you need to fry them over low heat with a lid on. We use the amount of oil indicated in the recipe - otherwise the caviar will turn out very oily. Therefore, the total amount of oil should be divided by eye into 5 equal parts and pour approximately.

Drain the water from the eggplant (it will be dark, don’t be alarmed - that’s what we wanted). And fry with oil - they should become transparent and soft. Fry the tomatoes with oil under the lid until they are boiled (this is 7-10 minutes). Then they must be rubbed through a sieve so that the seeds and skin do not get into the caviar.

Place all the vegetables in one pan, add salt and cook covered for 30 minutes over low heat. The salt should taste good - when the caviar cools down it will not.

All! Eggplant caviar is ready. If desired, it can be made uniform in consistency. To do this, use a blender after the vegetables have been fried - before cooking. Pour the finished caviar into jars (the jars must first be doused with boiling water) and close. In order for jars of caviar to be stored for a long time and not to explode, it is advisable to sterilize them for 10 minutes (this is for 0.5-1 liter jars).

Usually there is food at home not always in exactly the right quantity - no problem.

The main thing to remember is that we are preparing caviar from eggplant, and not a vegetable sauté, and to maintain the proportion: the volume of chopped eggplant, the same amount of all the other vegetables combined (tomatoes do not count), must be added.
