    Bake the dish for about 25 minutes in a preheated 180 °C oven. The exact time will depend on the characteristics of your oven and the size of the mold. But it is not necessary to bake it for a very long time — from a long heat treatment, the liver becomes stiff. Take the finished liver out of the oven, put it on plates and serve it to the table, with or without a side dish. Enjoy your meal!

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.

Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
