Step 3
Wash the zucchini and slice it into rounds. Fry them in a separate frying pan until golden (about 5 minutes). If you add the zucchini directly to the other vegetables, it will release juice and lose its shape, turning the stew into a mushy consistency. Therefore, it's better to fry it separately.
