Vegetable Ikra Based on the recipe by Vadim Zeland (in Russian), but quantities are our own. 1 courgette 1/3 can tomatoes 1/2 capsicum 1 tsp salt 1/2 onion 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp chilli flakes It also works well with eggplant instead of the courgette, and would probably work well with a mix both too. Too much eggplant makes it bitter. Chop the vegetables, then blend all ingredients smooth in a blender. If it doesn't liquefy in the blender, add a small amount of water (or more juice from the tomatoes). Keeps well in the fridge.
