Delicious Italian-style zucchini
Description
The recipe for Italian-style zucchini is incredibly simple. First, start by boiling an egg. Cut the onion into half-rings or cubes and place it in a skillet with a small amount of olive oil. Sauté until translucent, then add garlic. Cut the zucchini into cubes or quarters and add to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Simmer the vegetables over low heat until tender, about 10–15 minutes. About 2–3 minutes before finishing, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cool the boiled egg, peel it, and chop into cubes. The classic Italian-style zucchini recipe sometimes includes a tomato paste sauce. This version works well in winter, while in summer it's better to use fresh vegetables. On a separate skillet, place thinly sliced tomato rounds. Add a pinch of sugar, a little salt, Provence herbs, and lemon juice. As soon as the tomatoes begin releasing their juice, remove the skillet from heat. Lightly grease a baking dish with oil or line it with foil. Spread a thin layer of zucchini and egg on the bottom. Sprinkle with some cheese, then arrange the tomatoes on top. Cover with the remaining cheese and, if desired, add breadcrumbs lightly fried to a golden color. The breadcrumbs will make the crust even crispier. Place in a preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, until the top turns golden. This simple Italian-style zucchini recipe can surprise you with its incredible flavor.
