Ингредиенты
Pumpkin - 500 g
Sweet pepper - 200 g
Onions - 120 g
Carrots - 120 g
Vegetable oil - 50 ml
Garlic - 5 cloves
Sugar - 20 g
Salt - 3/4 tbsp.
Table vinegar 9% - 1.5 tbsp.
Рецепт
1. I purchased the pumpkin already chopped. To be honest, I don’t have my own garden and we don’t grow pumpkins. We rarely eat it at all, so we don’t buy it whole either. The best option for me is to buy pumpkin freshly cut at 6 am from the dandelion grandmothers, already without peel and seeds. It’s nice for them and it’s convenient for me. Therefore, we will cut the remaining vegetables, after peeling and washing them: carrots - into strips, sweet peppers - into strips, onions - into cubes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan or frying pan, add chopped peppers, onions and carrots. Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring, over very low heat.
3. Add chopped pumpkin, stir and simmer for another 15 minutes. You can add 100 ml of water. Also add salt and sugar.
4. While the vegetables are stewing, peel and finely chop the garlic.
5. After 15 minutes, add garlic, stir, simmer for 5 minutes. Pour in 9% table vinegar, stir and turn off the heat. The pumpkin salad is ready for the winter, put it in sterile jars.
6. Screw on the blanks with sterile lids, tip them over and wrap them up. After a day or two, move it to a more suitable place for storage - in the cellar, pantry.
7. This salad is an excellent addition to a side dish or meat. Bon appetit!
