You can cook a huge number of dishes from the zucchini, which in July-August flooded the gardens and markets. My favorite dish, which I always cook as soon as young zucchini appear, is the most tender stewed zucchini in sour cream-garlic sauce. It is so simple and fast that even young housewives can cook it. Zucchini in sour cream-garlic sauce can be served both as an independent dish and as a side dish for fish, poultry and meat. And it will also be an excellent addition to crumbly cereals (for example, buckwheat, barley and rice), to mashed potatoes, boiled young potatoes, and also to pea porridge. One has only to try the delicious stewed zucchini in sour cream and garlic sauce, and they will also become your favorite dish in the season of zucchini expanse.
It is necessary
- Zucchini (zucchini) - 1-2 pieces (medium-sized fruits)
- Sour cream - 1 - 1, 5 cups
- Refined sunflower oil - 2-3 tablespoons
- Garlic - 3-4 cloves
- Flour - 1 tablespoon
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper - to taste
- Greens (cilantro, basil, dill, parsley, chives)
Instructions
Step 1
Zucchini is best taken young, while they still have a special, surprisingly delicate taste. For this dish, I prefer a small zucchini. Wash, cut into cubes or small wedges right with the rind, for zucchini it is usually thin. Ripe zucchini works too, but then thoroughly peel the core of seeds and fibers and peel off the thicker skin.
Step 2
Heat refined sunflower oil in a deep skillet. Lay out the zucchini, add flour, stir and fry lightly (a couple of minutes, no longer).
Step 3
Peel the cloves of garlic, wash and use a garlic press to squeeze into a frying pan onto the zucchini. Stir. The amazing garlic aroma will come immediately. If there is no garlic press, then the garlic can be grated on a fine grater or simply chopped finely.
Step 4
Add sour cream immediately after the garlic. I usually use sour cream for this dish 15-20 percent fat. Salt a little, mix well and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce heat and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally and trying to cook. Finished zucchini should be juicy, but it is important not to overexpose on fire, otherwise they may simply boil and fall apart.
Step 5
Finely chop any fresh herbs that are on hand: cilantro, dill, parsley, basil, green onions, arugula. Put ready-made zucchini in sour cream-garlic sauce on plates, sprinkle with herbs, you can add a little black pepper. A fragrant, tasty and healthy summer dish is ready, bon appetit!
