  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make vegetable stew from zucchini in a slow cooker? Prepare all the necessary products. Vegetables can be used either fresh from the garden or frozen. If you have a mature zucchini, peel the skin and remove the seeds. Take large, fleshy tomatoes.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Peel the onions, garlic and carrots. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and core. If you use peppers of different colors, then the finished stew will turn out incredibly appetizing and bright. Rinse all vegetables and dry with napkins.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Cut the onion into thin half rings or quarter rings. Chop the peppers into strips. Carrots can be grated using a coarse grater, a vegetable slicer for Korean salads, or cut into thin slices by hand.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    Pour a small amount of vegetable or olive oil into the multicooker bowl. Add onions, peppers and carrots to the oil. Set the "Fry" mode and cook the vegetables.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Fry, stirring, for about 10 minutes.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Cut the tomatoes into small cubes or slices. If desired, peel the tomatoes first (I usually don’t do this). Chop the zucchini into small pieces.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Place the tomatoes and zucchini in the multicooker bowl.

  8. STEP 8

    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 dry basil. Stir again.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    Close the multicooker lid, set the “Stew” mode and leave it this way until ready. Different models of multicookers set their own time. My appliance set the cooking time to one hour, but the vegetables were ready within 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 steep for about 5-10 minutes.

  10. STEP 10

    STEP 10

    Sprinkle the finished dish with ground black pepper and fresh herbs. Serve it up!

There are a lot of zucchini and other vegetables at this time of year. Take it and cook! To make lunch light and as healthy as possible, I prepared a fragrant and tasty vegetable stew with zucchini in a slow cooker. While cooking and then, when I tried the finished stew, I noted that the vegetables in the slow cooker turned out very juicy, had an al dente consistency, and also did not lose color, remaining just as bright and elegant. The stewing time on my multicooker is set automatically - 2 hours. But I stopped at 40 minutes. Then she let the stew cool, added a clove of garlic, passed it through a press, and stirred. It turned out very tasty! Thank you very much! I will make this recipe again!

Somehow I had never really cooked before, but with the advent of a multicooker it became interesting to try everything. Now I cook it almost every other day - fortunately the zucchini crops have grown bad this year. I was looking for delicious recipes and came across this one. I've been liking pancakes lately - I fry them in a slow cooker every morning. I have 4520 Redmond, I raise the heating element and fry it in a frying pan - the main plus is that you need very little oil - the frying pan is good. I'll try to cook a vegetable stew tomorrow - I think it will also catch on with us.
