Ingredients

• 10 gogoșari
• 11 large white onions
• 1 medium celery root (500 g)

Preparation

1. Wash and clean the gogoșari, onions and celery root. Clean the hot peppers, then put all the vegetables through a meat grinder. 2. Put the vegetables in a stainless steel pot, add the tomato purée and place the pot in an oven preheated to 150°C for 3 hours and 30 minutes. Stir from time to time; the vegetables should be very soft. 3. Let the mixture cool for 20 minutes, then blend it. 4. Pour the mixture back into the pot. Add the sugar, vinegar, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and cook for 45 minutes, stirring, until it reaches the consistency you want. 5.
