Tips

Why it works
Туши овощи под крышкой, чтобы они размягчились равномерно и не подгорели. Если крышки нет, добавь 20 мл воды.
Substitutions
Замени сахар 5 мл мёдом для мягкости или 10 г изюма без косточек для сладости. Лук можно взять 50 г, если он острый.
Common mistakes
Если икра горчит, уксус добавляй после тушения, а не сразу. Проверить по вкусу на 1 минуте прогрева.
Storing and reheating
Хранится 5 дней в холодильнике. Разогревай на медленном огне с 10 мл воды, помешивая, до 70°C.
Serve with
Подавай с ломтем ржаного хлеба, подсушенным в тостере, или намажь на бутерброд с сыром.
