  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make stewed vegetables in a frying pan? Wash the zucchini under running water. Cut in half lengthwise and cut the vegetable into rather large half rings. If you like zucchini to be as soft as possible, then you should grind them harder, but don't get too carried away. Zucchini should be noticeable in the finished dish. Zucchini is successfully replaced with ordinary zucchini. And in general, in this recipe, all vegetables are variable. Put the vegetables in a separate bowl for now.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Bulgarian pepper and free from seeds and stalks. Cut the pepper into rather large pieces. It would be better to choose red or yellow pepper for the external harmony of the finished dish.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Wash the carrots by rubbing the peel with a brush if it is heavily soiled. Peel the carrots with a vegetable peeler and cut into thin half rings. This is necessary so that she has time to reach readiness.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Peel the onion from the husk and cut into thin half rings. It would be better to take white or yellow onions. Purple will dissonate in the finished dish. You can not add onions at all if you do not like it.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Wash cherry tomatoes and cut into thin rings. Actually, slicing for tomatoes can be absolutely any, only the appearance of the finished dish depends on it.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    So, the preparation of vegetables is over. Grease a non-stick frying pan with sunflower oil and put all the vegetables in it. Put it on medium heat.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    I immediately salt the dish to taste, although this can be done at the end of cooking. Add your favorite spices or dried herbs. I have a mixture of Italian herbs.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Simmer the dish under a closed lid over medium heat for five minutes, until stirring the vegetables.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Then stir the dish and, removing the lid, bring the vegetables to readiness. For each cooking time will be different. Someone likes it when vegetables are a little crunchy (then simmer them for no more than seven minutes). And someone likes the softest possible vegetables (in this case it may take fifteen minutes or more).

Vegetables turn out juicy, and the dish itself is fragrant due to herbs.

You can not add sunflower oil at all, but pour a little filtered water into the pan. Then it will be possible to reduce the calorie content of the dish as much as possible.

Bon appetit!

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which one is better not to use at all, read here .

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.

Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape.
