Squash caviar (dietary)

A jar of black caviar is hundreds of unborn sturgeons, but

a jar of zucchini - just a few deceased zucchini.

As an honest person, I always choose the lesser evil.

* * *

-What kind of fish do you want to catch?
- Zucchini.
- There is no such fish!
- How is it not? There is caviar, but no fish?

We will need:

• Zucchini - 1 kg
• Carrots - 250 g
• Onions - 250 g
• Tomatoes - 250 g
• Garlic - 5 teeth.
• Greens (parsley, dill)
• Salt - to taste
• Sugar - to taste
• Tomato (depending on taste) - 2-3 tbsp
• Ground black pepper - to taste
• Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp

Preparation:

As always, very simple :-))

1. Wash all vegetables, peel those that are necessary. Cut zucchini and carrots into large pieces. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil (2 tbsp) and place vegetables: carrots, zucchini, onions, tomatoes. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 150*C and bake until the carrots are soft.

2. Then cool the baked vegetables a little. Now we need to grind them. To do this, take a blender or some kind of chopper. I use an old food processor for these purposes.

He copes with this task with ease. Place the resulting mass in a saucepan, and pour in the vegetable juice released during baking from the baking sheet. Place on the stove and cook.

3. As soon as the vegetable mass in the pan begins to “puff”, carefully add salt, ground black pepper, tomato and sugar. The tomato is needed to acidify the caviar a little, but I don’t add sugar at all, it tastes better without it :-)

4. Cook the squash caviar under the lid. It “puffs” unexpectedly and strongly, and can not only splash everything around, but God forbid, get on the cook and cause a burn. Therefore, we clearly control this stage. Cooking time over moderate heat is no more than 20 minutes.

Then remove the pan from the heat, add chopped dill or parsley and chopped garlic. Mix everything, cover with a lid and let it brew for 30 minutes.

Dietary squash caviar is ready!

I really like to spread it on bread. Tasty! And no unpleasant consequences :-))

To you, my dear readers, healthy dishes and a great mood!

The peculiarity of dietary squash caviar is that all vegetables (except onions) are boiled in it and not fried, as in regular squash caviar recipes. As you know, boiled vegetables retain their beneficial qualities and vitamins better. And you can get vitamins, while maintaining your figure, from squash caviar even in winter, if you prepare dietary squash caviar for the winter. I'm sharing my recipe:
1. First, put a pan on the fire, pour in some water (half a pan is enough).
2. Peel the carrots, wash and cut into large pieces. Place in boiling water and cook for 15 minutes.
3. Prepare zucchini and bell pepper. Peel the zucchini and remove seeds. Cut out the center with the seeds from the pepper.
4.After cooking the carrots for 15 minutes, add the zucchini and peppers to the pan. Cook the vegetables for another 10-15 minutes.
5. While the vegetables are cooking, peel the onion and cut into half rings.
6. We will fry the onion in vegetable oil. Don’t be afraid, fried onions won’t make squash caviar any less dietary. The oil remaining with the onions will release more juice from the carrots, and therefore make the taste of the caviar more intense. And you don’t have to pour a lot of it, just enough so that the onions don’t burn.
7. Then pass the boiled vegetables and fried onions through a meat grinder or chop with a blender.
8. Pour the resulting mass back into the pan, squeeze out the garlic and add salt.
9. Stir and cook with the lid open for another 40 minutes. Let all excess liquid evaporate.
10. Place the caviar in sterilized jars and wrap the jars in a blanket.
Your dietary squash caviar is ready! I wish you bon appetit!

Preparing low-calorie squash caviar is both simple and difficult at the same time. On the one hand, zucchini is a low-calorie product, but on the other hand, it should be fried in butter along with carrots. As a result, the calorie content of squash caviar increases significantly and becomes no less than 120 kcal per 100 g of product. Considering that we are used to eating such snacks in large portions, we are guaranteed to gain several kilograms of excess weight. However, this situation can be avoided if you reduce the calorie content of classic squash caviar and try to prepare this appetizer in a dietary version.

The first version of dietary squash caviar

To prepare you will need: 500 g of tomatoes, 1 kg of onions, rosemary, a glass of olive oil, salt, 1 kg of carrots, 1 kg of champignons and 5 kg of zucchini.

Grate all the vegetables. Place the tomatoes in boiling water for a few seconds and remove the skins. And then grind them through a sieve or puree them with a blender. Fry mushrooms and onions in olive oil and combine with the rest of the ingredients. Place everything in a large saucepan, add salt, put on fire and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Then place the caviar in steamed jars and seal.

The second version of dietary squash caviar

To prepare you will need: 1 kg of onions, unrefined vegetable oil, 1 kg of carrots, 4 kg of zucchini.

Cut the onion into cubes. Peel and grate the zucchini and carrots. Fry vegetables in vegetable oil. Then dilute them with water and simmer until cooked. When the squash caviar has cooled, place it in plastic bags and freeze. Before use, defrost the squash caviar and lightly add salt.

The third version of dietary squash caviar

To prepare dietary caviar from zucchini you will need: 100 g of dried or

200 g of fresh basil, 1 kg of tomatoes, a glass of white rice, 4 kg of zucchini, red onion - 1 kg, 1 kg of red bell pepper.

Cut all the vegetables into cubes, add water, lightly salt and simmer in a deep saucepan until tender. Then mix them with rice, add peppercorns and basil. Steam liter jars, place squash caviar and rice in them and seal.

Snack version of dietary squash caviar

To prepare you will need: 1 white onion, 500 g carrots, 1 teaspoon suneli hop, 1 kg zucchini, 1 tbsp. spoon of olive oil.

Grate the carrots, cut the onion into cubes and fry with the carrots in olive oil. Peel the zucchini, remove the seeds if necessary and add to the vegetables. Add salt and simmer until everything is ready. Then cool the vegetables and puree them in a blender. At the end, add suneli hops and put the caviar in the refrigerator for several hours.

Zucchini is a very easy food. 100 g of fresh fruit contains no more than 18 kcal. When these vegetables are turned into caviar, the energy value increases. Is it possible to eat squash caviar on a diet, is it beneficial, and what is the harm? Everyone who adheres to the rules of a healthy diet should know.

Zucchini is usually eaten raw, stewed, boiled, fried, as a separate dish. But more often people make caviar from them. This is also sold in industrially produced jars. However, home-cooked ones are lower in calories.

Composition and nutritional value of the product

Caviar from zucchini is desired by everyone. And the energy content per 100 g is only 103 kcal. The glycemic index of this dish is 70-75. This is a high figure. But due to the high moisture and fiber content, such caviar helps cleanse the intestines, which means losing weight.

Important! Each product has its own glycemic index. This is the effect of a product on blood sugar levels after consumption. GI shows the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed in the body and increase sugar levels. The highest indicator is 100. Low GI foods have fiber and complex carbohydrates that are digested slowly. A high GI indicates simple carbohydrates that are quickly digested. And if there is no reason to consume glucose, it is sent to fat reserves.

Benefits and harms

Zucchini caviar brings many benefits. The advantages are:

• fiber improves intestinal motility, prevents and treats constipation;
• the functioning of the heart muscle improves;
• cholesterol decreases;
• immunity is strengthened;
• joints become stronger;
• salts and toxins are removed;
• the blood is cleansed, blood circulation is activated;
• swelling and excess water go away;
• metabolism is activated.

Harm also exists. Expired or low-quality products contribute to the occurrence of botulism.

Is it worth eating while losing weight?

Depending on the composition of caviar, the energy value per 100 g can vary from 80 to 103 kcal. This is not a lot at all, so those who are losing weight can safely include it in the menu at least every day.

Homemade caviar is even lower in calories. 100 g of product contains only 18 kcal. The product saturates and gives you a feeling of fullness for a long time. It is suitable as a side dish for any lean meat or fish.

Dosage per day

It won’t hurt a healthy person to consume up to 300 g of zucchini caviar per day.

For minor problems with the gastrointestinal tract, it is permissible to eat up to 100 g.

And even those suffering from diabetes can afford up to 100 g of this dish, if it does not contain sugar.

Who should exclude this dish from their diet?

Some people will have to give up zucchini. There are a number of reasons for this:

• some kidney pathologies;
• stomach and duodenal ulcers;
• gastritis with high acidity;
• acute form of gastrointestinal diseases;
• allergy to zucchini and caviar components.

It is also important to carefully study the composition of the product when purchasing. If it contains sugar, it is better not to use if you have diabetes.

Important! To reduce the calorie content of caviar, you can cook it in a slow cooker. You can also use a microwave.

Options for fasting and dietary nutrition

Due to the lightness of the dish, caviar can be eaten as a dietary food when losing weight.

Option 1

I eat half a kilo of caviar for seven days in a row. It is not prohibited to consume an unlimited number of vegetables (just not potatoes, of course), as well as 200 g of white chicken meat, boiled with a little salt and pepper.

Chicken will provide proteins, vegetables will provide vitamins, and caviar will provide fiber and other useful components to cleanse the intestines and supply all cells of the body with useful substances. Up to 7 kilograms can be lost in 7 days.

Option 2

All week you should eat only buckwheat (150 g), boiled chicken (100 g of white meat) and zucchini caviar (100 g). Eat at a strictly defined time. You cannot follow this diet for more than a week.

It is possible to lose weight up to 8 kilograms. But these days you need to take a complex of vitamins.

Option 3

For three days in a row, you should eat 100 g of zucchini delicacy, 50 g of cheese and chamomile infusion in the morning. For lunch - vegetable soup, white meat chicken. For an afternoon snack - ginger tea, as well as a baked green apple. For the evening - boiled rice and 100 g of squash caviar. With such a diet you can say goodbye to 3.5 kg in three days.

Fasting day 1

In the morning - squash caviar and low-fat cottage cheese.

Lunch – zucchini caviar and chicken or fish.

Afternoon snack – fruit of your choice.

For the evening - zucchini caviar with potatoes or steamed buckwheat.

Fasting day 2

In the morning - 100 g zucchini caviar and green tea.

Second breakfast – 120 g of yogurt, pear, a mug of pumpkin juice.

Lunch – zucchini caviar, boiled with spices, meat, a cup of berries, a cup of tea.

Afternoon snack – cabbage salad with carrots, caviar, apple juice.

For the evening - a handful of dried fruits, caviar, unsweetened tea or fruit juice.

Interesting! Zucchini can be eaten raw. They are juicy and tasty. It is better to choose very young and medium-sized fruits for this. Raw zucchini acts as a mild diuretic.

Recipes

A great option is to cook caviar at home. This vegetable dish will be dietary, since it definitely does not contain vinegar, sugar, or artificial flavoring additives.

Important! If you use zucchini for weight loss, you should not get carried away with fried ones. It is better boiled, baked, cooked in foil or over a fire. Squash caviar can also be prepared for the winter. But we must not forget that this product requires careful preparation, long-term boiling and sterilization of jars. Canned vegetables also retain their beneficial properties. But you'll have to add a little vinegar, and it's not good for everyone.

Main conclusions

Squash caviar is beneficial and has few contraindications. Therefore, it is recommended for everyone who wants to become slimmer and healthier. She:

• contains few calories;
• delicious and goes well with many dishes;
• rich in vitamins and fiber.

The best caviar is the one made at home. This product also has fewer calories. This delicacy will help you lose weight and strengthen your immune system, normalize blood circulation and heart function.

Good afternoon friends!

Squash caviar is a wonderful summer dish, today we will prepare it for the winter, and I will try to show you the best recipes.

When the “piglets in the garden beds” (that’s what one friend of mine calls zucchini) ripen, my husband says it’s time to make soldier’s jam. When he served in the army, and he wanted something tasty, they spread a thick layer of caviar on bread and devoured it on both cheeks. He doesn’t like zucchini because it lacks a distinct taste, but he loves caviar, which is why I try to prepare more of it, because this is the best way to preserve the vegetable for the winter.

This low-calorie product (98 kcal per 100 grams) is quickly absorbed by the body, so it is included in health-improving diets. It improves digestion and metabolism, removes excess salts from the body, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, reduces cholesterol levels, and stimulates the activity of the gallbladder. In addition, it is a storehouse of vitamins. Include caviar in your daily diet and stay healthy!

The difference in the ratio of ingredients and cooking technology gives a lot of different cooking recipes, just like. The ingredients are baked in the oven, fried or stewed in a cauldron. Can be cooked in a slow cooker and in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Vegetables can be prepared in different ways: minced, pureed in a blender, or cooked in pieces.

The best recipe for squash caviar for the winter

Ingredients:

• zucchini - 1 kg
• carrots - 300 gr.
• onion - 300 gr.
• garlic - 1 medium head
• tomatoes - 300 gr.
• sunflower oil - 1/2 tbsp.
• tomato paste - 1/2 tbsp. l.
• vinegar - 1/4 tbsp.
• salt - 1 tbsp. l. no slide
• sugar - 1-2 tbsp. l.

Preparation:

To prepare this recipe, take a five-liter saucepan with a thick bottom to accommodate the entire mixture of chopped vegetables.

We follow the basic principle of cooking: add harder and denser vegetables first, and those that are soft and cook quickly last.

Place the pan on medium heat and add oil. We wash all the vegetables, peel them and cut them into cubes.

Cut the carrots lengthwise into four parts, then cut into small cubes. Place in a saucepan in slightly hot oil.

Cut the onion and garlic into small cubes and place in a saucepan.

Cut the young zucchini into cubes along with the juicy skin. If you find an “old” one, remove the seeds with a spoon.

Simmer the vegetables over low heat. The carrots become soft and release juice, the onions should become transparent.

Place chopped zucchini on top.

Next come peeled and chopped tomatoes. As you noticed, we did not intentionally add salt. It gives a large amount of liquid, which we do not need at all.

Simmer the vegetables until fully cooked, without covering the pan with a lid for 20-30 minutes. Then, while hot, transfer the mixture into a food processor.

Grind the vegetables in a blender until puree. We got it with a beautiful light brown color, delicate consistency, and airy. We put everything back into the pan, and now we will bring it to the desired taste and thickness.

Add tomato paste for color and taste. Vinegar for sourness and preservation. Ground black pepper for a slight bitterness. And also salt and sugar. Mix everything thoroughly and boil for 5 minutes. If the caviar turns out a little liquid, boil it to the desired thickness.

Place hot in prepared sterilized jars. Cover with boiled lids, turn upside down and cover with a blanket to cool slowly. Store in a cool cellar.

After putting into jars, some of the product always remains. Let it brew for 15-20 minutes and cool. Now spread it on a piece of black bread and eat it with pleasure. Bon appetit!
