It is an easy summer, vegetarian recipe that can be served with fried eggs if you do not want to eat it with meat, but in my opinion, it fits with meatballs better.

  • Grated Summer Squash Stew Recipe

The most important question is what kind of squash will we make the recipe from? I usually make this recipe from summer squash, and more precisely from a variety similar to zucchini but pale green in some places called tatuma squash or Mexican squash.

Only a Few Ingredients

Because I said it's a simple recipe, we only need two main ingredients, namely summer squash, of which I need four pieces of small-medium size, in total about 1-1.2 kg, and a can of chopped tomatoes of 400 g.

And as an aromatic plant, we will add a handful of chopped green dill that fits perfectly with the summer squash.

Preparing the Ingredients

Because as is the name of the dish is a grated summer squash stew recipe, we have to grate the squash. For this, I usually use to cut the heads of the squash first and then peel them with a vegetable peeler.

If the pumpkins are more mature and have the seeds already formed, we will first remove them with a spoon. But because my pumpkins are very young and firm, there is no need, we just cut them in half.

How to Make the Grated Summer Squash Stew Recipe?

When we see that the zucchini has softened, we add the chopped tomatoes from the can, I put only half for the first time and the rest only towards the end.

I added the chopped dill and seasoned it with two tablespoons of sugar, one teaspoon of sea salt, a tablespoon of wine vinegar and two tablespoons of vegetable mix for soups.

Serving

It can be served in different ways as a side dish, we prefer to eat it with a little sour cream on top and with the meat, this time with breaded pork chops. But it also goes with meatballs or even various chicken or pork roasts, or fried eggs.
