Recipe for zucchini with minced meat baked in the oven. Calorie, chemical composition and nutritional value.

Good afternoon We have already made pancakes, rolls, vegetable stew, and zucchini cake from zucchini, and today I will tell you about preparing another hearty summer dish - casserole with minced meat.

The calorie content of zucchini is only 22-24 calories per 100 grams and the best way to preserve its dietary properties is to cook it in the oven.

Regarding minced meat, it is best to make it yourself at home with the addition of your favorite spices, then you know exactly what it consists of. Dietary chicken, beef, and turkey are suitable. If you can’t cook minced meat, and you didn’t find anything ready-made in the store, you can cook it from chicken breast according to my colleague’s recipe, which is described here: https://domovodstvo-kulinariya.ru/zapekanka-iz-kabachkov-v-duxovke-4-vkusnyx -recepta.html.

The casserole is widely known; it is prepared in almost every corner of the world, but it is called differently. For example, the Italians have lasagne, the French have gratin, and the British have pudding. All these dishes are united by a similar cooking technology.

By the way, there are a lot of different types of casseroles, which can be divided into sweet (dessert) and non-sweet: meat, vegetable, fish, cheese, mushroom, cottage cheese, etc. Most often, pasta or cottage cheese are used in their preparation, but this is not necessary. See more options for baking zucchini here.

Most often when preparing casseroles:

• all products are processed and placed in a mold;
• pour the egg-milk mixture on top;
• Place in the oven until fully cooked.

So, let's prepare a casserole with minced meat. And to make cooking easier, I diluted the text with photographs of cooking.

Zucchini casserole with minced meat, tomatoes and cheese - a simple recipe in the oven

Let's start preparing the first casserole with minced meat, cheese and tomatoes. The following seasonings are well suited for this dish: Italian herbs, oregano, basil, thyme, coriander, suneli hops.

Please note that these vegetables have a feature that needs to be taken into account when preparing all our dishes. This vegetable consists of 90 percent water. Usually liquid is added to casseroles, but we, on the contrary, will carefully remove excess juice from zucchini, otherwise our dishes will not hold their shape. Therefore, we pay attention to this point.

To prepare we will need:

• Zucchini – 1 kg.
• Minced meat – 400 g.
• Onions – 2 pcs.
• Chicken eggs – 2 pcs.
• Tomatoes – 2-3 pcs.
• Garlic – 2-3 cloves
• Hard cheese – 170 g.
• Sour cream – 200 g.
• Salt, spices - to taste
• Parsley - a small bunch
• Vegetable oil - for frying

1. Wash the zucchini and remove the tail from the stalk. If you have a young vegetable, then you do not need to peel the skin. Grate it on a coarse grater, pour it into a bowl, sprinkle with salt and let stand for 15 minutes to release excess liquid.

2. Cut the onion into cubes and fry in a frying pan greased with vegetable oil for two minutes until transparent.
