Tomato Luitenitsa dressing

1. Stage

It's very simple. From the specified number of ingredients comes out 3.5 - 4 liters. That's why I cook in a big bowl. We put to cook tomatoes and peppers in different dishes. It is possible to cover with a lid. Our task is for the vegetables to become soft and give juice. This takes about 30 minutes after boiling.

2. Stage

Then let it stand for a while and drain the juice. The juice can be drunk, or you can use it to make sauce, bread, or soup. The juice yield depends on the type of tomatoes and peppers. I'm from 4 kg. tomatoes drain about 1 liter of juice, a little more from the same number of peppers. That is, you and I just got rid of 2 liters of liquid.

3. Stage

By the way, it is very easy to remove the skin from cooked peppers, so I boil them separately from the tomatoes, so as not to rub them through a sieve unnecessarily. You can see how much juice settles, and the longer it stands, the more juice.

4. Stage

Chop the tomatoes with a blender or meat grinder. You can skip this step, but I think the shredded ones are quicker to grind.

5. Stage

This is how we grind them to get rid of the seeds and skin.

6. Stage

Chop the peppers.

7. Stage

Combine together and cook for 30-40 minutes with the rest of the ingredients! Stir constantly, because the mass is quite thick, bubbling and bursting a lot, just wait for drops to fly all over the kitchen. It is better to stir with a wooden spatula, carefully cleaning the bottom of the pan.

8. Stage

Pour the hot lutein into hot jars and roll up. Store in a cold place.

9. Stage

A few words about pepper and sugar. I give this sauce to young children, so I put 1 tbsp of freshly ground black pepper instead of chili. Sugar - if you have sweet southern tomatoes, you don't need sugar. I, on the other hand, have my Urals sour this time, so I put 2 tbsp of sugar. Taste.
