"Slovakian" Sandwich Paste

Recipe: 2-4 hours, Cooking: 40-60 minutes, Tools: GIGANTIC pot, big pot, some bowls, food mixer, bunch of glass jars, huge and warm blanket

Serves: A bunch of small jars idk man, it's a lot

Ingredients


1.5 kg of bell peppers

0.5 kg of yellow onions

0.5 kg of carrots

0.5 kg of beans

0.5 l tomato soup

4 dl vegetable or olive oil

2 piece of bay leaf

2 spoon of salt

5 spoon of parsley

1 mocha spoon of NA benzonate

Steps

  1. Cook the beans in a pot on a low and consistent heat, until they soften. This process takes some hours, my last run took me around 2-3 hours.

  2. In the meanwhile mince the bell peppers, red onions and carrots, but do NOT mix them yet. Please store them in separate bowls

  3. After your beans have cooked well enough, mince them finely as well with the mixer

  4. Pour a enough oil into your most massive pot to be able to cook your onions until they browned well enough to your taste

  5. Throw in the minced bell peppers, carrots, beans and the rest of the oil into the pot and continously stir them a while cooking it for around 20 minutes. The aim in this process is to cook the ingredients into eachother, and also to cook away a bit of water from the pot

  6. After that, add the tomato soup, bay leafs, salt and parsley to the mix and continoue the cooking process as said before also for around 20 minutes

  7. Just before you plan to finish, include your NA benzonate into the mix and your cooking phase has finally been finished

  8. Grab a bunch of glass jars and pour the mix into these, and close them as tightly as possible

  9. Cover all of them in a really dense blanket or anything insulating to make them cool down slowly with eachother

  10. Put them away in a slightly cold area, like in your pantry and leave them to cool for 2-3 days or until they have cooled down to the stored room's temperature level

  11. If they have completely cooled down, then you can finally enjoy the delicacy of this beautiful recipe :3
