Polish Zucchini Ketchup
  1. Start by washing the zucchinis, then grate them using the coarse side of a box grater. Similarly, finely chop the onions and mince the garlic.

  2. In a large pot, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, and sauté them until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  4. Stir in the grated zucchinis, ensuring they mix well with the onions and garlic.

  5. Add the tomato passata, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, allspice, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined.

  6. Let the mixture come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is soft and the flavors meld together.

  7. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, remove the bay leaf. Use a hand blender or a food processor to blend the ketchup until smooth.

  8. Sterilize glass bottles or jars in boiling water. Pour the hot zucchini ketchup into the sterilized bottles or jars, leaving a little space at the top. Seal them tightly.

  9. Store in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep the ketchup in the refrigerator and consume within a month.

  10. Smacznego! (Enjoy your meal in Polish)
