Zucchini: raw or cooked, our 7 recipes to bring out the best in this summer's star.
A must-have summer vegetable, zucchini is a welcome addition to every table. Low in calories, bursting with water and rich in fiber and minerals, zucchini is a real chameleon in the kitchen: raw or cooked, it offers endless possibilities to delight the whole family. Here's how to make the most of it, with simple, tasty recipe ideas.
Raw zucchini: fresh and crunchy
Often overlooked raw, zucchini is delicious sliced thinly in carpaccio, simply seasoned with olive oil, lemon and Parmesan shavings. You can also grate it to enrich your summer salads or marinate it with fresh herbs and a dash of balsamic vinegar, for a light and colorful aperitif.
Baked zucchini: sweet and delicious
When cooked, zucchini reveals its melt-in-the-mouth texture and delicate flavor. Steamed to preserve its nutrients, pan-fried with garlic and olive oil, roasted in the oven or even stuffed, it lends itself to all your desires. And don't forget to add it to quiches, savory cakes, flans or gratins: a real concentrate of sunshine on your plate.
