Fried Zucchini with Tomato Paste

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   Gather these simple ingredients.

2. Step 2:

   

   If the zucchini are young, you can leave the skin on; if they're more mature, it's better to peel them. Cut them into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet and fry the zucchini for about 10 minutes, stirring a couple of times so they don't scorch.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into cubes as well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add the onion to the zucchini and fry, stirring, for another 5 minutes.

   Season to taste with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Stir.

6. Step 6:

   

   Next stir in the tomato paste.

7. Step 7:

   

   Now for the parsley — don't be stingy with it. It's really delicious and fitting in this dish. If you're not a fan, a couple of sprigs will do; if you love it, a whole bunch is just right. Just rinse it well and pat it dry with paper towels.

8. Step 8:

   

   Chop the parsley finely.

9. Step 9:

   

   Add the herbs to the vegetables, stir, and simmer for another 5 minutes.

    And there's our zucchini with tomato paste. Cover with a lid for just 3–4 minutes so the flavors come together even better.
