Zucchini 250g

Zucchini, called Zucchini in German, is a smooth green summer squash with soft, mild-flavoured flesh and small edible seeds.

In German cooking it is sliced and pan-fried, grilled, or baked into gratins, while in Indian-style cooking it can be substituted into a simple sabzi in place of similar gourds, cooked with onion, turmeric and cumin.

How to use

• Wash and trim the ends; peeling is not necessary as the skin is thin and edible.
• Slice, dice, or grate depending on the dish; it releases water as it cooks, so higher heat helps it brown rather than steam.
• Store in the fridge and use within about 4 to 5 days.
