• salt, spices, vegetable oil.

Pre-peeled zucchini should be cut into cubes and put in a plastic bag. Pour salt (to taste), spices, parsley and add a little vegetable oil there. Then shake the bag several times to mix all the ingredients together.

Put the resulting mixture on a baking sheet, pour garlic-sour cream sauce on top and sprinkle with finely grated cheese. We send the baking sheet to the oven, heated to 220 degrees, for 40 minutes. The finished dish, if desired, can be decorated with dill and parsley.

Stuffed zucchini

As a filling for the preparation of stuffed zucchini, meat filling is most often used. However, zucchini stuffed with vegetables are no less tasty and healthy.

You can cook dishes from zucchini with minced meat both in the oven and in a regular frying pan. The shape of zucchini for filling with stuffing is also very diverse: you can cut “boats”, rings, columns out of them, or just stuff whole vegetables.

Before you cook stuffed zucchini, you need to choose the right fruits for stuffing. It is better to give preference to young vegetables of small size - they have a thin peel, which acquires a delicate taste during heat treatment.

A simple recipe for cooking zucchini stuffed with meat stuffing provides for the following ingredients:

• 5 small young zucchini
• 300 grams of minced meat,
• 1 cup rice
• onion, carrot and tomato (1 pc.),
• bunch of parsley,
• salt, spices, vegetable oil.

We will prepare zucchini as follows:

1. Initially, you need to cut the fruit into three parts and boil for several minutes in salted water.
2. Then remove the pulp from the zucchini and cut it into small pieces.
3. To prepare the filling, the pulp of zucchini, carrots and onions are fried in sunflower oil. Then boiled rice is added to this mass and put to simmer on a slow fire.
4. After 10 minutes, add minced meat, chopped tomato, spices, a little water and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
5. When the filling is ready, fill the whole zucchini with the resulting mixture, spread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 50 minutes at a temperature of 190 degrees.

To cook zucchini with minced cheese in the oven, you will need:

• 3 zucchini,
• breadcrumbs (4 spoons),
• 100 grams of cheese
• 4 garlic cloves,
• sprigs of parsley and dill (for decoration).

Washed zucchini is cut lengthwise into 2 parts and the core is selected - a form for stuffing in the form of a “boat” is obtained. Then the pulp is mixed with garlic, breadcrumbs and grated cheese (a small part of the cheese should be left for sprinkling).

The resulting mixture should be filled with zucchini boats and sprinkle with cheese on top. Put all this on a baking sheet, previously sprinkled with breadcrumbs, and send it to a preheated oven (up to 200 degrees) for exactly an hour.

Cooking zucchini in a slow cooker

Stewed zucchini with vegetables is an ideal dish for cooking in a slow cooker. These vegetables form a particularly successful combination with carrots, onions, bell peppers and garlic.
