Zucchini stewed in a steamer
2 servings
35 minutes
Steamed zucchini is a light and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine, harmoniously combining the tenderness of zucchini and the sweet note of carrots. This cooking method makes the vegetables soft while preserving their beneficial properties and natural taste. The addition of spices and wine vinegar gives the dish a slight piquancy and depth of flavor. Historically, stewed vegetables were widely used in Russian cuisine as they are easy to prepare and perfect for healthy eating. This dish can be served as an independent light snack or as a side dish to meat and fish dishes. It pairs especially well with rye bread or fresh herbs. After steeping, the flavor becomes even richer, allowing each ingredient to fully unfold.
