Many of us were taught from childhood that meat or fish dishes should be consumed with cereals, pasta or mashed potatoes. But, according to nutritionists, meat is best absorbed with vegetables. Therefore, I suggest you cook zucchini for a side dish.

This is generally a versatile vegetable that practically does not have its own taste, but it perfectly absorbs the aromas of spices or other products. That is why it does not spoil main courses and serves as a great addition to steak, chops or cutlets.

List of ingredients

Step by step cooking

For the preparation of the side dish, it is better to choose young zucchini with a delicate skin that you don't even need to cut off. There are no seeds in them yet, so we just need to trim the edges a little and use the whole vegetable without waste. Such zucchini are juicy and tender. If you have large, mature zucchini, then you need to remove the skin from them with a knife for peeling vegetables and scrub the middle with seeds with a spoon.

1. Cut the processed zucchini into medium pieces.
   
   
2. We clean the garlic and pass it through a press directly into a bowl.

4. Grind the pepper and send it to a bowl too.
   
   
5. Pour the oil and mix everything together well.
6. Put the zucchini in this mixture, mix and leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
   
   
7. We spread the zucchini in a preheated pan with a little oil. It needs very little to just lubricate the bottom, since it is already in the marinade.
   
   
8. Stirring occasionally, fry the zucchini until tender over medium heat. They will become soft and covered with a light ruddy crust.
   
   
9. Transfer the contents of the pan to a deep dish and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
