Zucchini makes delicious appetizer rolls. To do this, you need to cut the zucchini into thin "ribbons" - slices - and spread them with various fillings based on cottage cheese or cream cheese with bright additions (greens, sun-dried tomatoes, spicy vegetables, spices, mushrooms, fried bacon, etc.). You will have a wonderful appetizer that is suitable both for a home dinner and for a festive table for a large company.

Salmon with potatoes and zucchini in a pan is a hot dish suitable for both a regular lunch and a small home celebration or weekend. Salmon is a very tasty and healthy fish, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have a beneficial effect on everything. Cooking salmon in a pan is simple: just marinate it in spices while the potatoes are frying, then add it to the vegetables. The fish will be ready faster than the potatoes and even the tender zucchini. By the way, instead of zucchini, you can use squash. Preferably young—such squash have a thinner skin and less dense flesh compared to large, mature vegetables.

Steamed chicken breast cutlets are a super popular dietary dish. They are very healthy and perfect for anyone following a proper nutrition regimen, as well as for children. It is often believed that chicken breast is too dry, so tasty cutlets cannot be made from it, but this is not the case, and our recipe is proof of that. The secret to juicy cutlets lies in adding finely chopped zucchini to the mince. This gives the mince a looser texture and makes the cutlets very rich, delicious, and healthy.

Steamed beef patties are very tender and delicious! Moreover, they are a healthy and dietary option for preparing beef patties. Cuts like shoulder or brisket are perfect for the minced meat. To make the patties truly fluffy and soft, you should also use crushed zucchini, grated carrots, pumpkin puree, or any other vegetable ingredient. By the way, if you are not a big fan of onions in patties, try roasting them first, then blending them, and only then adding them to the minced meat.

If you have a zucchini and an eggplant, place the meat inside the sliced vegetables, wrap everything in foil, and bake it in the oven. First, marinate the meat in a ready-made marinade and add fresh herbs, garlic, and pepper to the filling. The zucchini and eggplant will absorb the aroma of the spices and herbs, becoming very flavorful. The meat will retain its juices and remain tender.
