Recipe for stewed zucchini with tomatoes and sour cream gravy
For a couple of servings you will need:
- 1 young zucchini;
- 3 tomatoes;
- 200 g of fat sour cream;
- some flour for breading;
- a pair of garlic cloves;
- frying oil and salt.
Wash the zucchini, peel and cut into 1 cm thick circles. Then roll them in flour and fry in vegetable oil until half cooked. It is very important that the pan where you cook the vegetable is heated to the limit - then the zucchini will fry very quickly and absorb the minimum amount of vegetable oil. Also, after cooking, they can be laid out on a plate covered with a paper towel - this will leave excess fat, which we do not need at all. After, put the prepared circles in a deep frying pan, add chopped tomatoes, salt, sprinkle with seasonings, pepper and squeezed garlic, and then fill with sour cream. Vegetables can be laid out in several layers. After that, put the frying pan on a slow fire: after 30 minutes, the zucchini stewed with tomatoes in sour cream sauce will be ready. Hot dish should be served to the table, sprinkled with fresh herbs if desired. Such an appetizing second, even without meat, will surely be appreciated by all your family members.
