It is a very&#13;<br \/>\npopular ingredient, with loads of applications, which is why we will be&#13;<br \/>\nbringing you today a few of them. We will also be looking at cooking them&#13;<br \/>\ndepending on size.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>In one version,&#13;<br \/>\nyou can peel and cube them, then boil in salted water. After that you can mix&#13;<br \/>\nthem into eggplant paste, Middle Eastern style. You can also use them to&#13;<br \/>\nsimulate meatballs you use for making a popular soup in Romania, by mixing them&#13;<br \/>\nwith cheese. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The easier road&#13;<br \/>\nyou can take is that of frying them. Peel the zucchinis, and slice them into&#13;<br \/>\nfinger thick chunks. Sprinkle salt on them, then leave them to sweat a bit.&#13;<br \/>\nBeat a couple of eggs with a bit of ground black pepper, then douse them in&#13;<br \/>\nflour, then soak them in the beaten egg, then pan fry them. We recommend a&#13;<br \/>\ngarlic sauce, either water or yogurt based. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>One other, more&#13;<br \/>\ninvolved recipe, is stuffed zucchini, a meat dish. Take 6 to 8 zucchinis, about&#13;<br \/>\nhalf a kilogram of minced pork, a cup of rice, two onions, a bunch of fresh&#13;<br \/>\nparsley, tomato juice, salt and pepper to taste. Peel the zucchinis and slice&#13;<br \/>\nthem in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to core them, and then fill them. To make&#13;<br \/>\nthe filling, chop finely the two onions, add the finely chopped parsley, with&#13;<br \/>\nsalt and pepper to taste. Put the filled zucchinis in the oven dish, then put&#13;<br \/>\nin the dish tomato juice and water. Place in a low heat oven for about 20&#13;<br \/>\nminutes, until the zucchinis are done. Serve with a yogurt or sour cream&#13;<br \/>\ngarnish. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domestically grown zucchinis make up for a very popular ingredient in Romania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173145,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45767],"tags":[42706,43064,45812],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-173144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-cooking-show","tag-cooking","tag-romanian-cuisine","tag-zucchini"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
