Light and Easy Zucchini Spread
I was skeptical of this recipe until I tasted it at a table with several guests - the first one disappeared from the plate and I thought I should make a double portion. It is very tasty, flavorful and healthy because it is not made with much oil and the vegetables are baked in the oven.
I was late to put the recipe on the site because I wanted to test how it is kept in the pantry, in the jar - so it has been very nice for 2 months, it hasn't swelled and now I can make another series quiet to be reserves in winter, as hard- and good!
Be careful not to load the tray with too many vegetables, so that they brown / cook well and do not boil in their juice.

Step by step
Step 1
Grease the oven tray with a little oil and add the zucchini cut into medium pieces.
If they are older pumpkins, be sure to peel them and seeds.
Step 2
Also add the julienned onion and sliced carrots.
Step 3
Peel the peppers and tomatoes and place them on top of the other vegetables - whole as you can see in the picture.
Sprinkle with a little oil (I used an oil spray can) and put in the oven heated to 220-250 degrees.
Step 4
Leave the vegetables in the oven for about an hour - halfway through, remove the pan and mix them with a spoon, the tomatoes and peppers return to the other side.
Step 5
Let the vegetables brown nicely, it will taste better zacusca.
After turning off the oven, leave the tray there for another 20 minutes.
Step 6
After cooling a little, peel the tomatoes and peppers.
Step 7
Put all the vegetables in a food processor and mix well. You can make a finer paste for them, or leave the pieces longer, even with a knife.
Step 8
That's how I chopped the vegetables, coarser.
Step 9
Pour the zacusca into a tuci / pan with a thicker bottom, season with salt and add the crushed garlic and simmer for about 15 minutes.
To put them in jars, I recommend boiling them longer, about 40 minutes.
The preservation process is the same as for eggplant zacusca .
Step 10
Let it cool a bit and enjoy it, like a salad ...
Step 11
... or on bread, for breakfast and more :)
Good appetite!
