Zucchini stew recipe
To prepare tender zucchini stew we use:
- 1 medium sized zucchini;
- a bunch of green beans;
- new potatoes 500 grams;
- vegetable oil 4 tbsp. spoons;
- 2-3 cloves of garlic;
- salt and spices to taste;
- greens for decoration.
Rinse the vegetables and dry with a towel. Peel the zucchini and cut into large pieces. You don’t have to remove the seeds from young zucchini; they are still quite soft and cannot be felt in the finished dish. You don't have to peel the potatoes, but lightly scrape them with a knife. It is the skin of young potatoes that contains many useful mineral compounds. Cut the potatoes into slices. Cut the green beans into pieces approximately 2 cm in length.
Fry the garlic cloves in a frying pan in vegetable oil for 1 minute. The garlic does not need to be cut or put through a press. It is enough to press it down with something flat so that the juice comes out. After the garlic, fry the young potatoes in oil over medium heat, stir them constantly with a spatula. After 5 minutes, add a little water, literally 1/3 cup and chopped beans.
Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for about 7 minutes. Add zucchini and simmer for another 3 minutes. At the end, you can salt our zucchini stew, add spices and black pepper, and turn off the stove. When the stew has stood for a while under the closed lid, about 15 minutes, you can serve it to the table. When serving, you can decorate each serving with fresh herbs. Bon appetit!
