- The most tender, juicy caviar comes from zucchini, which makes it a great match for hearty dishes and side dishes. Best of all, you can enjoy it hot or straight from the fridge — especially welcome in the summer heat. And if you like, you can always run it through a blender or food processor for a smooth, chunk-free spread. Cooking steps: 1. Rinse the zucchini. You can peel it, but I don't — the skin keeps the pieces firm so they don't cook down into mush. 2. Dice the carrot and onion small. My carrot here was frozen. 3. Finely mince the garlic and herbs; you can leave out the garlic if you're not a fan — a tomato makes a good stand-in. 4. I really love the dried tomato and soy sauce here — they give the dish a rich flavor and an appetizing color — so I add them at the very end and let everything simmer briefly under the lid. 5. Fry in this order: start with the zucchini, which is very juicy and needs to be browned well until the extra moisture cooks off. Add the carrot next and cook off its moisture too (mine was watery after thawing). Then add the onion and sauté well. After that you can add everything else — your favorite herbs, spices, and so on. 6. Finish with the soy sauce. P.S. If you don't care for the sharp bite of garlic, swap in a sweet apple — it's delicious that way too.
