Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 15 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    To prepare this recipe, take young zucchini - I have a medium-sized zucchini, it is more convenient when it is approximately the same thickness along the entire length, i.e. choose smooth fruits for cooking. It will be both more beautiful, and rings of the same thickness and width require about the same frying time. You will also need a little sunflower oil, a clove of garlic, salt and a teaspoon of mayonnaise, and if you don't like mayonnaise, then sour cream.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the squash well, be sure to dry it with a kitchen towel. Cut the squash into large rings, each about 1 centimeter thick.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Preheat the frying pan, sprinkling it with oil a little - it's better to take a non-stick one, you can do without oil at all. Lay out a layer of zucchini and fry one side over medium heat until lightly browned.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Turn the zucchini to the other side and fry on the other side until the fork enters the edge of the zucchini without much effort, but also not like in a cutlet, for example. The zucchini should remain in the al dente stage (with a soft crunching, "per tooth").

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Peel and crush one clove of garlic, for a more delicate taste, you can take half a clove - excess garlic does not speak in favor of the sophistication of the dish, but it just claims to be. Chop the garlic finely, you can use a garlic press.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Put all the zucchini mugs fried to the degree of al dente into a container with a lid.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Add garlic to the zucchini, add a pinch of salt.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Finely chop the parsley and dill - chopped greens should get about two tablespoons. Or to your taste - someone loves more, someone less.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Add a teaspoon of good mayonnaise, cover the container with a lid and shake well so that all the contents are evenly mixed. Zucchini should be warm or hot, not boiling - they will secrete juice.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Zucchini will secrete juice, which, when shaken, will mix with mayonnaise and herbs. That's it - literally 10-15 minutes for two bookmarks in the pan - and an excellent zucchini dish - beautiful and fast - is ready!

For cooking zucchini according to this recipe, young zucchini are perfect - they just have less hassle, and they taste much more tender. I have not tried to cook ripe fruits in this way, they were usually rolled in flour and then fried. And then they just added garlic and mixed it, it turned out delicious, but very greasy. The proposed recipe gives you a completely different picture: the dish turns out to be light, juicy, the squash is not overcooked, therefore it does not lose vitamins.
