A variety of dishes can be prepared from vegetables, including chic snacks. A particularly good option, which is suitable for a holiday, and for a family dinner is stuffed vegetables. All the recipes below have common ingredients - mushrooms, as well as tomatoes and zucchini. Both those and other vegetables can be used as a "container" for minced meat or as a filling. First we will stuff the mushrooms, and then stuff them with tomatoes and zucchini. And each time you get a new, unlike the rest of the gourmet dish.
The perfect mushroom snack
Mushrooms are a versatile product that is used in a huge number of different recipes: from soups to pizza. But it’s not everyone’s mind to stuff mushrooms. At the same time, this appetizer turns out to be very tasty and presentable - what you need for a beautiful dinner. We will cook champignons, popular and accessible to everyone. First you need to get rid of the legs and remove the flesh from the caps, and then boil for 5 minutes in salted water. As the filling, you can use various ingredients. Here's a great option: fry the onions and chopped mushroom legs until golden brown, add a little garlic, cream and herbs. Stuff mushrooms with this mixture and bake. Sprinkle the prepared mushrooms on top with grated cheese and garnish with a sprig of parsley. Your hot holiday snack is ready to head to the table.
Zucchini boats with mushrooms on board
In the zucchini season, you need to take the opportunity and cook as many dishes with them as possible. For example, submit for dinner zucchini stuffed with mushrooms. First, let's get into the filling: fry the onions and finely chopped mushrooms in vegetable oil, let’s cool slightly and add chopped boiled eggs, a little sour cream and herbs to them. Young zucchini peeled, cut lengthwise and remove the pulp with seeds. Then they need to be slightly boiled and cooled. Put egg and mushroom stuffing in each “boat” from the zucchini, pour tomato-sour cream sauce and bake until cooked. When serving, you can sprinkle with herbs and nuts. The dish is very simple, but it is incredibly tasty and beautiful.
Tomato plates with rice and mushroom filling
Tomatoes, like mushrooms, are used in cooking very often. Moreover, their shape allows you to make them an edible plate for a delicious filling. We suggest, by analogy with pepper and cabbage, to make tomatoes stuffed with mushrooms and rice. To do this, cook rice, fry mushrooms with onions and carrots, mix all the ingredients. Salt the rice-mushroom mixture, stuff it with tomatoes, previously peeled from the pulp. For each tomato on top, put a small piece of butter - so the filling will turn out juicier and more tender. Put them on a baking sheet, cover with cut lids and bake until soft. Serve with sour cream. It is quite possible to eat such a dish, so this snack will easily replace the main dish on a hot summer day.
Three products - unlimited recipes
You can stuff mushrooms, zucchini and tomatoes with any other ingredients - everything is limited only by your imagination and available products. It is not necessary to bake the proposed dishes. For example, tomatoes can also be served fresh. For this, cheese-garlic filling with herbs and a small amount of mayonnaise is suitable. But zucchini and mushrooms are better first baked or cooked, and then stuffed. The proposed recipes will help you diversify your summer or autumn menu with healthy and tasty snacks. Enjoy your meal!
