  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to fry zucchini with vegetables in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Zucchini is better to take young, small size. It will also turn out from large fruits, but it will taste better from young ones. Instead of cherry, you can take one large tomato. Wash the vegetables thoroughly and dry them, and clean them before slicing.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Peel the zucchini if it is no longer young. Young zucchini can be cooked directly with it. It is convenient to do this with a special vegetable cleaner - it removes a very thin layer. Next, cut the zucchini. I cut into cubes, someone likes to cut into strips - it's not critical and a matter of taste.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Chop the onion. You can use cubes, you can use half-rings, again, as anyone likes. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. I do not advise cutting carrots coarsely, it is cooked the longest from vegetables, it may remain damp if it is large.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Bulgarian pepper cut into strips, tomatoes into small slices. If you took an ordinary tomato, it is better to remove the skin from it first. To do this, cut it crosswise on top and lower it into boiling water for a minute. And then immediately put it in cold water. Then the skin will be removed very easily, it will be necessary to pull it along the cuts made. Cut a large tomato into small cubes.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Chop the herbs and garlic as well. Choose the greens that you love. I have parsley.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Put the frying pan on the fire, heat it over low heat. Pour vegetable oil into it. Put the onion and carrot in the pan first. Fry them for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Onions should become transparent, and carrots should soften.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Next, add zucchini and bell pepper to the pan.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Next put a tomato, or cherry tomatoes, like mine. Season with salt and pepper. Mix it up. From the effects of salt, the squash will quickly give juice, so we won't need water.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Cover the pan with a lid and leave for about five minutes.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Now close the pan again and turn down the heat, letting the vegetables soak in each other's flavors and reach readiness. Focus on the condition of the squash — if it is ready, then turn it off. Young zucchini is prepared faster than the old one, do not forget, otherwise you will get porridge. That's it, our dish is ready, bon appetit!

It turned out to be a very light, fragrant vegetable stew.
If desired, you can add other vegetables — eggplant, peas, green beans, cabbage, potatoes.
According to the recipe, you can also put tomato paste and a little sugar.

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.

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! 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.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
