Zucchini with parsley is a light, aromatic dish from Hungarian cuisine that harmoniously combines the freshness of greens and the tender texture of zucchini. Historically, Hungarians valued seasonal vegetables, and this dish is a vivid representative of their culinary traditions. Fried zucchini acquires an appetizing golden crust, while the addition of parsley gives it a fresh herbal note. Nutmeg and black pepper add spiciness, and sea salt enhances the flavor. This dish can be served as a light side to meat dishes or as a vegetarian treat. It is perfect for warm summer days when you crave something light yet rich in flavors.
