3. To obtain caviar of the desired consistency, it is most convenient to grind it using an immersion blender.
4. From young zucchini up to 20 cm long, you can make the most delicate caviar; moreover, they do not need to be peeled. But for mature zucchini it is necessary to cut off the peel and also clean out the seeds.
5. To prevent the caviar from being too watery, you can remove excess juice from the zucchini. Salt the coarsely chopped zucchini and stir; after 15 minutes, squeeze out the released liquid.
6. Carrots and tomatoes must be added to the composition of squash caviar ( tomato paste), otherwise it will not have the usual red color.
7. It is advisable to seal the squash caviar in small jars so that it does not sit in the refrigerator for a long time, and the jars must be sterilized, otherwise your preparation will spoil.
