Here I show you my zucchini vegetables recipe. Preparing delicious courgette as a side dish is really easy and here I show you how.

Courgettes are a subspecies of garden squash, contain as much water as other squashes, are low in calories and rich in vitamins, and are easy to digest.

This delicious side dish goes well with classic sauerbraten, roulade and short-roasted meat as well as game.

So that you can be sure of cooking success in your kitchen, I will show you the preparation step by step with a cooking video. I wish you good luck and bon appétit!

1. Tips for Preparing Zucchini Vegetables

This little summary will get your mindset moving in the direction of tasty vegetables and is a good preparation aid.:

Buy courgettes that are as small as possible, the smaller the courgettes, the finer the flavour.
Make sure the skin is intact.
Wash the courgettes thoroughly, dry them and cut them off at the end.
Decide whether to prepare them with or without seeds and which type of cut to use.
You can cut slices, rhombuses, sticks, cubes or tourned vegetable pieces.
You need salt, pepper, sugar and optionally nutmeg.
Butter or ghee is a good choice, you can also use olive oil!
For the herbs, you can get or use parsley, lovage, thyme and dill from the garden or dried from the kitchen cupboard 🙂

I will discuss seasoning variations later in a table.

The smaller the courgette, the finer the taste. Maybe we’ll meet at the greengrocer’s soon to pick out the little vegetables.
