Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make vegetable stew from zucchini in a slow cooker? Prepare all the necessary products. Vegetables can be used both fresh from the garden and frozen. If you have a mature zucchini, then peel it and remove the seeds. Tomatoes take large, fleshy.
Step 2:
Peel the onion, garlic and carrot. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds with the core. If you use peppers of different colors, then the finished stew will turn out incredibly appetizing and bright. Rinse all vegetables and dry them with napkins.
Step 3:
Cut the onion into thin half rings or quarter rings. Chop the peppers into strips. Carrots can be grated on a grater with large teeth, on a vegetable cutter for Korean salads or cut by hand into thin cubes.
Step 4:
Pour a small amount of vegetable or olive oil into the bowl of the slow cooker. Send onions, peppers and carrots to the oil. Set the "Frying" mode and cook the vegetables.
Step 5:
Fry, stirring, for about 10 minutes.
Step 6:
Cut tomatoes into small cubes or slices. Pre-peel the tomatoes if desired (I usually do not do this). Chop the zucchini into small fragments.
Step 7:
Send tomatoes and zucchini to the bowl of the slow cooker.
Step 8:
Mix everything, add salt to taste. At this stage, add your favorite dry spices. I used a mixture of ground peppers, paprika and dried basil. Stir again.
Step 9:
Close the lid of the slow cooker, set the "Quenching" mode and leave it this way until ready. Different models of slow cookers set their own time. My appliance set the stewing time to one hour, but the vegetables were ready in 30 minutes. Therefore, periodically open the lid and check the degree of readiness of the stew. At the end of cooking, add finely chopped garlic and let the vegetables infuse for about 5-10 minutes.
Step 10:
Sprinkle the finished dish with ground black pepper and fresh herbs. Serve!
Very tasty both hot and cold. Zucchini stew can be offered as an independent dish or as an addition to potatoes, meat and much more.
Bon appetit!
How easy is it to peel tomatoes? Wash them, make criss-cross incisions on top with a sharp knife. Put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin.
Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds.
Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.
