Zucchini caviar with sweet pepper

4 servings

30 minutes

Zucchini caviar with sweet pepper is a harmonious blend of tender young zucchinis, juicy bell peppers, and aromatic onions simmered in vegetable oil until soft. This dish traces back to traditional Chinese cuisine where vegetable appetizers play an important role. The flavor of the caviar is multifaceted: from the sweet-creamy consistency of zucchini to the slight spiciness of tomatoes and peppers. It pairs wonderfully with rice, noodles, or toasted bread, serving as either a standalone dish or a side. Zucchini caviar is not just food but an art of balancing flavors that can be served warm or chilled, enjoying its subtle aromas and rich nuances.
