Zucchini with cashews

20 minutes

Zucchini with cashews is a refined dish of European cuisine that harmoniously combines the tenderness of vegetables and the richness of nuts. Young zucchinis, fried to a golden crust in fragrant olive oil, retain their juiciness, while lightly toasted cashews add textural contrast and a subtle sweetness. Sprinkled with dried herbs, the nuts and zucchinis acquire a noble, rich flavor reminiscent of Mediterranean healthy eating traditions. This light yet nutritious dish is perfect as a side or standalone snack. It pairs wonderfully with white wine and fresh herbs, creating an atmosphere of comfort and gastronomic delight.
