Ingredients
Cooking process
First of all, we will deal with the preparation of the main ingredient - beets. It is best to give preference to firm fruits that have the correct shape. We wash the raw fruits thoroughly using a special vegetable brush, then peel them and cut them arbitrarily into medium-sized pieces so that they can be conveniently passed through a meat grinder.
Now it's the turn of the tomatoes. When choosing, you should give preference to ripe juicy fruits. Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly, put them in a separate container. With each tomato, using a knife, we make a cross-shaped incision in the area of the stalk, then fill it with boiling water and leave it for five minutes. Then we drain the hot water and fill the fruits with cold. After that, remove the skin from the tomatoes and cut each fruit into two parts.
We send the chopped beets to the pan. We also send vegetable oil, salt, sugar there. Mix everything well. Cook the resulting mass over medium heat for half an hour. After half an hour, we send chopped tomatoes to the beet mass. Cook the mass for another half hour, not forgetting to periodically stir the contents of the pan during the cooking process. After another half hour, add chopped pepper to the vegetable mass, mix everything and cook for another twenty minutes. Next, we send the crushed apples into the pan, mix and cook everything for ten minutes. After that, remove the mass from the heat.
Bon Appetit!
