Step 1
1. The recipe for stewed pork with zucchini has several secrets. First, wash, dry, and cut the meat into small pieces. If the pork is too lean, add a little vegetable oil to the frying pan (if it's moderately fatty, you can place it on a dry pan). Put the meat in the pan. Peel the onion and slice it into half-rings. Add it to the pan after the meat. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat until partially cooked, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add a little broth or water to prevent the meat from burning.
