Ingredients
Directions
- Sprinkle shredded zucchinis with salt and let it sit for 20 minutes so that the salt can extract all the juices from them.
- After 20 minutes throw zucchinis on the strainer and drain out all the liquids by pressing them gently.
- Combine strained zucchinis, onions and carrots in a big heavy pot with oil and let it sweat for 15 minutes on medium heat, scrapping off the bottom occasionally.
- Add crushed tomatoes, garlic, bay leaves, sugar and season with salt and peppers. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 30 minutes on low, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the mixture onto the strainer one more time and press slightly to drain out the liquids.
- Let it slightly cool down and pour the mixture into the blender.
- Puree and serve this creamy zucchini caviar with your favorite bread, crepes or chips.
