Zucchini fried in slices with tomatoes and garlic. Zucchini fried with garlic and tomatoes

I love zucchini in any form. Even raw, it’s also delicious if you pepper it, rub it a little with garlic, sprinkle it heavily with herbs and sprinkle with, say, lemon juice. But this time I decided to cook this low-calorie vegetable differently...

This can be an independent dish, an appetizer, or a side dish. It turns out not only tasty, but also beautiful. That’s why, when guests come to my house and there’s nothing special to serve, I come up with something like this appetizer. Swept off the table in the blink of an eye!

Cooking time: about half an hour, if in the proportion that I served

Complexity: you can just fry it, but here, as they say, with a little heat...

Ingredients

3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil

salt to taste

Cooking method

We don’t clean a young zucchini, otherwise we’ll end up with mush. And from a rough one, you can remove the skin (but not too thick) and select the seeds (as was the case in my case). Then we need circles about a centimeter thick.

These are not eggplants, but I add some salt before frying. Let the excess moisture drain, then the circles will be crispy. And if you don’t do this, the zucchini will be steamed.

I like garlic not the kind with cloves. There is such a variety (alas, I don’t remember) when such a decent head comes. Or take a large head. Separate the required amount, clean it - we will need juice.

The filling is tomato, therefore the tomato (ripe!) must be doused with boiling water, and then, when it cools down, remove the peel from it.

Now you can put the frying pan on gas. I like to fry with as little oil as possible. Let the zucchini turn golden.

The tomato should be cut into 4 parts.

Select the seeds from there and chop them very finely.

What's with the garlic? We need to squeeze the juice out of it. How much should I take? A matter of taste. After all, they need to water the zucchini.

Don’t forget to place the finished zucchini on a napkin - let the excess fat come off. And immediately put it in a plate.

While frying, fry the chopped tomato in a small amount of vegetable oil. Stir frequently so that it does not burn or go out completely.

Pre-Columbian Indians are said to have eaten squash, along with squash, beans and corn, for thousands of years. Zucchini grows well next to other crops. After zucchini was brought to Europe, it was more often used as an ornamental plant, and only the seeds were eaten.

Cut the zucchini into slices 8-10 mm thick

More recently, I was skeptical about dishes made from this vegetable, except that caviar was a favorite appetizer, but after I tried it with dill and garlic, I changed my mind and now with great pleasure I eat zucchini in any form, and appetizers from fried zucchini became a regular feature on our family table.

For this dish you need:

• 2 young zucchini
• 1 head of garlic
• Mayonnaise
• Vegetable oil

Preparation:

For this dish we use young zucchini; you can also cook zucchini using the same recipe.

We wash them, cut off the ends, cut them into thin circles, 3 - 5 millimeters thick, if they turn out a little thicker, it’s not a big deal, fry them a little longer

You need to add a little salt and mix with salt, be careful, don’t add too much salt, don’t forget that you will have them with mayonnaise

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, dip each cut piece in flour on both sides and lay it out to fry. It is recommended to fry over medium heat so that the oil and flour do not burn and your kitchen does not fill with an unpleasant smell.

As soon as the pieces begin to brown on the bottom, carefully use a fork to turn them over to the other side, keep in mind that they fry faster on the other side, so be careful not to burn them

Carefully lift the finished zucchini with a fork, let the oil drain and place on a plate

Now we peel the head of garlic, squeeze all the cloves into a bowl through the garlic clove, if there is no garlic clove, you can chop it very finely with a knife

Squeeze mayonnaise into a bowl and mix well

Place the fried zucchini pieces on a plate and brush them with the mayonnaise mixture.

Place the second piece on top and also grease it. If you are preparing such an appetizer for guests, you can garnish with small slices of cucumber, tomatoes, and dill.

These are such delicious sandwiches, ready to eat.

While our pieces are frying, prepare the tomatoes, cut them into slices, the same amount. Try to choose small tomatoes, approximately the same in diameter as zucchini.

And you can combine it with boiled potatoes and meat. We will also consider such options with tomatoes in this article.

A dish of fried zucchini is also good to eat separately. Because it is quite satisfying due to the presence of butter and mayonnaise. I will also add that the appetizer is good both hot and cold. I even prefer it from the refrigerator. How do you love?

Fried zucchini with mayonnaise and garlic

Let's prepare a simple dish by frying young zucchini rolled in flour. They have a soft skin and do not need to be removed.

Cooking won't take us much time. But then you will be pleased with a hearty and savory appetizer on the table.

We need:

• Zucchini - 4 pieces;
• - 100g;
• Garlic - 1 head;
• Greens (dill, parsley);
• Flour for dredging;
• Salt;
• Vegetable oil for frying.

Preparation:

1. First, let's prepare all the products required by the recipe. Sift some wheat flour into a plate.

2. Rinse the zucchini and greens with running water. Finely chop the greens into a bowl. And peel the garlic. At the same time, for easier cleaning, place the head in hot water for 15 minutes.

3. Cut the zucchini into rings 1-1.5 cm wide. At this size, they fry quite quickly.

4. Place a flat and wide frying pan on the fire and pour in a little oil. We bathe the circles in flour and fry in hot oil.

Flour absorbs excess moisture and allows you to fry vegetables without unnecessary splashing.

When frying, zucchini absorbs oil, so add it while cooking.

5. Once the rings are browned, turn them over with a spatula to fry on the other side.

6. Place the finished fried mugs in a capacious bowl. Some people like very deep-fried zucchini, right up to a dark brown color. But I prefer slightly browned and therefore do not fry for a long time.

7. Place the rosy rings in a flat bowl in layers. Salt each layer and sprinkle with herbs. Spread the top with a thin layer of mayonnaise sauce and grated garlic. Repeat this with each layer until the zucchini runs out.

Yummy is ready! You can serve it right away and invite your family over to enjoy it.

Bon appetit!

Fried zucchini with tomatoes and garlic: video recipe

Step-by-step recipe with photos

Fried zucchini with tomatoes and garlic is very easy to prepare. First you should prepare all the ingredients: wash the zucchini or zucchini, tomatoes and herbs well. We cut off the butts of the zucchini, peel the garlic, pressing it down with a knife in advance. Now cut the zucchini into circles, not too thin, about one centimeter wide. And cut the tomatoes into thin slices. Having reached the middle, we cut out the remains of the cutting.

Take a flat-bottomed frying pan or grill, put a regular one on medium heat and pour a teaspoon of oil, grill over high heat and do not pour oil. When the pan is very hot, add a layer of zucchini and add salt if necessary.

Fry the zucchini for about 3-4 minutes until they become golden brown on one side, covered in a regular frying pan and without a lid in a grill pan. While the zucchini is roasting, make the garlic sauce. Finely chop a couple of sprigs of dill. Put it in a gravy boat , low-fat sour cream or yogurt as desired. Homemade mayonnaise, by the way, is made in a couple of minutes from available ingredients, take a look 😉 Squeeze or grate the garlic on a fine grater, add dill and mix well.

Turn the zucchini over, first salting the unfried side. The zucchini may not brown as well in some places; you can finish cooking them by leaving them in the pan a little longer at the very end.

Fry the zucchini on the second side for about 3 minutes and place one at a time on a plate.

This is how you get zucchini on a grill pan.

When removing from a regular frying pan, you can first place the zucchini on paper towels to drain off all the excess fat.

This is how zucchini turns out if you fry it in a regular frying pan.

Add a little vegetable oil to the pan and add the next batch of zucchini to fry. While it is cooking, prepare all the ingredients.

Place a little garlic sauce on each zucchini circle.

Tomato on top. If the tomato circle is too large, cut it in half or into quarters. And at the very end - a sprig of dill or any other greenery.

Finish frying all the zucchini and lay out the remaining ingredients in the same way. Pepper and serve!

Fried zucchini with tomatoes and garlic ready. Can be served either warm or cold. Enjoy your meal!
