Beet Caviar
Description
The recipe won't take much time. A tasty spicy appetizer will complement your menu nicely. You can spread it on rye bread for a light dinner :) I'll tell you how to make beet caviar, and I'm sure—if you make it once, you'll make it again and again. The ingredients are easy to find and inexpensive, and the dish turns out very delicious. So, beet caviar recipe: 1. Wash and peel all the vegetables. 2. Grate the beets, cucumbers, and carrots separately into different bowls. Finely chop the onion. 3. Lightly sauté the carrots with the onion in vegetable oil in a deep skillet for about 5 minutes. 4. Add the grated beets and cucumbers. Stir, cover with a lid, and braise over medium heat for 20–30 minutes. The time depends on how done you like your vegetables. 5. Add tomato paste, pepper, bay leaf, and salt to the vegetables. Go easy on the salt—the pickles will add saltiness on their own. So don't forget to taste! If your caviar has a lot of liquid, braise without the lid. 6. Braise for about 5 minutes more, then add minced garlic. Turn off the heat. I love the taste of this caviar, especially when it has rested for at least a couple of hours. Adjust the heat to your taste—use more or less pepper and garlic.
