Preparation
Step 1
It’s best to use young, tender zucchinis. If yours are mature, peel them and remove the tough seeds. Wash and dry all vegetables.
Step 2
Prepare jars in advance. Use small-sized jars for convenience. Wash the jars with baking soda under running water. Wash and boil the metal lids. Place the damp jars upside down on the oven rack. Set the oven to 300°F (150°C) and sterilize the jars for about 15 minutes (for 0.5 L jars). If your jars are larger, sterilize them for 20-30 minutes.
Step 3
Cut the washed zucchinis into even-sized cubes.
Step 4
Peel the carrots and grate them on a medium grater.
Step 5
Peel the onions and slice them into half-rings or small cubes.
Step 6
Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them or press them through a garlic press.
Step 7
Place all vegetables into a deep enameled pot. Add vegetable oil. Then add sugar, salt, black peppercorns, a couple of allspice peas, and a bay leaf.
Step 8
Place the pot on the stove, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the vegetables for about 20 minutes with the lid on. Add the minced garlic and vinegar, bring the mixture to a boil again. Turn off the heat and stir the vegetables. Fill the hot salad into sterilized jars up to the top.
Step 9
Seal the hot jars with sterilized lids. Turn them upside down, wrap with a warm blanket, and let cool completely at room temperature. Store in a cool pantry. Enjoy your meal!
