Steamed zucchini in a slow cooker is quick and tasty

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Take the following ingredients: zucchini, purple basil, parsley, garlic, sunflower oil, salt.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare, use a young zucchini with unripe seeds and tender skin. Rinse thoroughly under running water and dry with a paper towel. Trim the ponytails. Cut into circles approximately 0.5-0.7 cm wide. Season with salt to taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash fresh parsley and purple basil and dry. Tear off the tender leaves; do not use the rough part. Chop finely. Place in a deep bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic cloves. Grate on a fine grater or chop with a garlic press. Add to herbs.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour in sunflower oil. Stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sliced ​​zucchini to the spicy mixture. Mix well so that the spice mixture is evenly distributed throughout all the zucchini. Leave for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place zucchini slices in a mold. Pour 300-400 ml of water into the multicooker bowl, preferably hot, and install a steam rack. Place the pan with the zucchini on the wire rack. Close the lid tightly. Start the steamer/vegetables program. In my Moulinex CE500E32 model, this function lasts 5 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Steamed zucchini in a slow cooker is ready. Serve immediately. Delicious with sour cream.

9. STEP 9

It's zucchini season! I usually fry zucchini and serve with garlic sauce, but not today) Through a search I found an interesting option for cooking zucchini, that’s what, but I haven’t steamed zucchini yet. Steaming zucchini in a slow cooker is quick and tasty, and you don’t have to stand at the stove))) A very easy recipe, even a child can do it. For the marinade I used everything on the list - fresh basil, fresh parsley, unscented oil and sea salt. Cut the young zucchini into 1 cm thick slices and mix with the marinade. I placed it in a container for steaming and cooked it in the Redmond multicooker in the “steam” mode for 15 minutes. The zucchini came out juicy, tender, aromatic and tasty. They did not fall apart during cooking and were completely cooked. Everyone liked the light, healthy and dietary dish. Great combination of basil, parsley, garlic and zucchini! Tomorrow I’m preparing a second batch) Thank you!
