Braised zucchini with green peas
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Canned green peas are a dietary and healthy product, rich in vitamins and essential minerals. They are great as a side dish on their own or for preparing various salads that have become traditional in Russia. The same applies to zucchini. By the way, it's summer now, so you can try replacing canned peas with fresh ones :) So, have a look. Serve hot.
