While stewing vegetables, cut cucumbers into small slices. At this size, they will quickly become soft.

After 10 minutes of stewing the onions and carrots, add cucumbers and tomato paste to them. If the paste is too thick, then dilute it with two tablespoons of water.

We simmer the vegetables for 20 minutes over low heat until the cucumbers soften.

5 minutes before cooking, squeeze a couple of cloves of garlic into the caviar to give the appetizer piquancy and more flavor.

Remove from the stove, take an immersion blender and beat the vegetables with several movements to make caviar with small pieces of vegetables. Large pieces should not be, but small particles will make caviar more appetizing.

Return to the fire, add sugar, salt. Bring the caviar to a boil, stir with a spoon to dissolve the spices. Then pour in the vinegar, wait for it to boil and turn off the heat.
