Zucchini peeled and cut into rather thick slices, put in a bowl and salt (just a little bit). Then we put the rounds on the wire rack, sprinkle with finely chopped garlic on top and cover each with a circle of tomato. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Cooking twenty minutes. We select the appropriate mode - “Steaming”.

"Boats" with meat

Such a dish can already be a complete lunch or dinner in itself. Indeed, it contains minced meat. As for the type of the latter, you can take any. Want more satisfying - choose pork or beef. Eat a diet - stop at the chicken. For cooking, it is advisable to take very small zucchini. Peel the peel, cut along, get the pulp. Slightly cut the bottom. As a result, we get something that really resembles a boat. Stuffing minced meat with chopped pulp, add one hundred grams of already boiled rice, salt and pepper. Then we make a pouring from tomato paste (a half-liter jar will be enough), several tablespoons of mayonnaise or sour cream and a glass of water. We neatly put our boats in a bowl, fill with the prepared sauce, set the “Baking” mode on the appliance and cook for forty to fifty minutes.

If for some reason you don’t eat meat, well, you can stuff zucchini without it. For example, take the same rice for the filling, adding fried onions and carrots to it. In addition, if you really want a dietary dish, you don’t need to cook the fill. Only in this case, lay the foil on the bottom of the multicooker. Then place the boats on it and cook in baking mode for half an hour. Then pour a glass of tomato juice and turn on the slow cooker for another ten minutes.

Fritters

Finely chop one onion, add it to the zucchini, then beat two eggs into the mass. Add two tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper, if you like greens, you can cut and add it. Then mix the mass. If it is not very thick, add more flour. Or a spoonful of starch. Heat the slow cooker, pour in the oil, and then fry the pancakes with the lid open, like in a pan, not forgetting to turn the product over. The cooking time for one serving is about ten minutes, no more. The mode is “Baking” or “Frying”.

Cook soup

We stock up on one zucchini, onion, carrot, three potato tubers, one hundred grams of champignons, already boiled chicken breast and a tablespoon of tomato paste. All vegetables are cut into strips, except for onions. Grind it randomly. Pour two liters of water into the bowl, pour the prepared vegetables + champignons cut into thin slices there. Add the paste, salt, pepper, stir. Cook for about an hour. Naturally, select the “Soup” mode.

And finally, we will tell you how to cook a casserole from zucchini in the Redmond multicooker.

How to make a casserole

This dish is prepared quite simply. Preparation does not take much time, and special ingredients are not required. It is enough to have a few zucchini, a two-hundred-gram piece of processed and hard cheese, four eggs and three large onions. In the multicooker bowl, you need to pour a few tablespoons of vegetable oil, then fry the onion chopped by the rings in it. We set the “Baking” mode, cook for about ten minutes, no more. Then on this onion pillow we lay out a layer of zucchini cut in circles and peeled. We spread slices of cream cheese on them, sprinkle with grated hard cheese and finely chopped greens. Then we again lay a layer of zucchini. And so, three or four times. Set the "Extinguishing" mode and cook for thirty minutes. Then open the slow cooker and fill the casserole with a mixture of beaten eggs, tomato paste and seasonings. If you wish, you can salt it a little, but do not overdo it, since both cheese and pasta are already saturated with this ingredient. Cook another 10 minutes in baking mode.
