Cooking in a multicooker "Redmond"
The first step for the Redmond multicooker pressure cooker is to prepare the vegetables.
The eggplants in the finished dish taste a little bitter, so let's take action:
- peel the peel;
- cut into cubes;
- put in a container;
- pour salt water (1 tablespoon of salt per 1 liter of water).
The eggplants should be completely covered with water. If the pieces float, press down on the lid from the pot. We leave them for a while and take care of other vegetables.
Queue for onions. We turn on the multicooker to the "Frying" program, set the time for 30 minutes, pour vegetable oil into the multicup and chop the onion. As soon as the oil heats up, send the onion to the multicooker. Fry it until transparent.
Carrot. It goes well in caviar, if cut into strips or grated on a coarse grater. We send it to the multi-cup to the onion and fry for 5 minutes.
While the carrots and onions are being heat-treated, cook the peppers. Wash it thoroughly, clean it of seeds, remove the stalk. Cut into cubes of the desired size and add to onions and carrots.
Drain the eggplant, place it in a multi-cup and continue to fry the vegetables all together for 10 minutes.
Prepare the tomatoes. They need to be doused with boiling water and peeled off.Cut into small cubes (so it will be tastier) and send to the rest of the vegetables in a slow cooker. Some housewives successfully replace tomatoes with tomato paste. This technique comes in handy when caviar is being prepared in winter or late autumn. Fresh tomatoes are not readily available at this time. Another nuance is to freeze eggplants and peppers for the winter version of vegetable caviar. Carrots and onions are not a problem for the hostess in winter, and the rest of the components can be prepared in advance. Then it is not necessary to cook eggplant caviar in a slow cooker in the summer for the winter. You can make your favorite meal anytime from frozen vegetables. The recipe is no different from the summer version, the caviar will preserve the taste of fresh products.
After the “Frying” time has elapsed, turn off the multicooker. Salt and pepper the dish (to taste), add garlic (chop). Now we change the mode. Turn off "Frying" and turn on "Stew". We choose the time from 30 to 40 minutes, it depends on the size of the pieces of chopped vegetables. By the way, many housewives add garlic, spices and salt 10 minutes before the end of stewing. So, useful substances in products are saved more. You definitely need greens. It is an indispensable component that gives the eggplant caviar in a multicooker the smell of summer.
