Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make zucchini stewed with meat and potatoes in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Instead of pork, you can use any other meat: beef, lamb, chicken or turkey, but keep in mind that the cooking time will change. If your meat is frozen, defrost it first. Read about all the intricacies of proper defrosting in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. Instead of tomatoes, you can use ketchup or tomato paste.

Wash the tomato and peel the skin. To do this, make crosswise cuts on top of it with a sharp knife. Place the tomato in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into large cubes. I cut all the vegetables into large pieces so that they would not boil over during the cooking process. If you want a more homogeneous and cooked vegetable component, then the vegetables need to be cut smaller.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the zucchini and cut into semicircles. If the zucchini skin is not too hard and the seeds are not very large, then they do not need to be removed. My zucchini is very young, so I just removed the stalk.

Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife, grate it or pass it through a press.
