How to make zucchini casserole
In general, what I like about this dish is that it can be cooked all year round. After all, zucchini is perfectly stored not only in jars, but also in jars. Homemade zucchini and zucchini grown on your own plot, when they are fully ripe, last almost until the next harvest, well, at least that’s how it is for me.
And during the squash season, we will prepare a casserole from the young ones, tender zucchini, in which the skin is still soft and the seeds have not yet formed.
For casseroles, I usually grate the zucchini, which makes the dish more tender. But if I add potatoes or tomatoes and cut them into plastic, then I cut the zucchini in the same way, it looks more aesthetically pleasing and is more convenient to eat.
To prevent the casserole from becoming just vegetables stewed in the oven with a lot of liquid, after you have grated the zucchini, you need to let them stand and drain off the excess juice.
Minced meat for zucchini casserole You can use absolutely any one that you like best, we will consider many options.
