Zucchini caviar without frying
Description
This zucchini caviar recipe involves cutting the zucchini into cubes. We don't need to turn them into a mush. If you prefer a smooth, uniform paste, an immersion blender will quickly fix that to your liking. This caviar can be eaten right away. Alternatively, you can prepare it for winter storage by sealing it in sterilized jars.

Step 1
Wash the young zucchini. Cut them into small cubes. Our zucchini caviar will be prepared in chunks, not as a paste. Therefore, we will cut the zucchini into even, neat cubes.
