Step 5
After boiling all the vegetables and sautéing the onion, blend everything in a blender or run it through a meat grinder. At this point, add grated garlic cloves. Transfer the mixture to a pot and simmer over low heat until reduced, about 40–45 minutes. Then spoon the finished spread into jars and let cool.
