Zucchini, a variety of ordinary pumpkin, was cultivated in Italy, where its name originates. This plant is characterized by its diverse varieties, which differ not only in taste but also in color and shape of the fruit. We have shades of dark green, light green, yellow and even orange varieties at our disposal. The main advantage of zucchini is its excellent flavor, however, it does not lack nutritional value. The fruits of this plant are a plentiful source of amino acids, which are the basic building blocks of proteins in the human body, as well as vitamins such as ascorbic acid, which is responsible for resistance, and mineral components such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese. Thanks to these properties, zucchini is an excellent component of reduction diets, as its energy value per 100 grams is only 15 kcal.

Makaron penne z cukinią

Dania na bazie makaronów – podobnie jak sama cukinia – przybyły do nas ze słonecznej Italii i na dobre zdążyły zagościć na polskich stołach.. Klasyczne spaghetti to nie jedyny pomysł Włochów na pyszny obiad.. Makaron można też łączyć z cukinią i mięsem.. Cukinię przekrawamy na pół i wyjmujemy z niej gniazda nasienne.. Kroimy w kostkę.. Cebulę oraz ząbek czosnku drobno siekamy.. Wszystkie trzy składniki podsmażamy na oleju.. Gdy cukinia będzie już miękka, dodajemy do niej 250 ml śmietany 30%.. W międzyczasie smażymy na patelni 130–150 g piersi z kurczaka (pokrojonej w niewielkie kawałki).. Gdy śmietana zacznie się gotować, dodajemy mięso i gotujemy przez kolejne 15 minut.. Całość doprawiamy solą oraz pieprzem i posypujemy startym żółtym serem lub zieloną pietruszką.

Ryż z cukinią i pomidorami

Równie udanym zestawieniem będzie połączenie cukinii z ryżem.. W tym celu bierzemy cukinię i kroimy ją na pół oraz wyjmujemy z niej gniazda nasienne.. Cebulę siekamy w drobną kostkę.. Oba produkty podsmażamy na patelni do zeszklenia.. Następnie wsypujemy na patelnię szklankę ryżu do risotto i smażymy przez 3–4 minuty.. Dodajemy pół szklanki białego wytrawnego wina i gotujemy do momentu, aż wino odparuje.. Dolewamy pół szklanki bulionu warzywnego i znowu gotujemy, aż bulion odparuje.. Czynność powtarzamy, aż ryż zmięknie.. Doprawiamy solą i pieprzem do smaku.. Dodajemy drobno pokrojone suszone pomidory i posypujemy natką pietruszki.

Leczo z cukinią

Choć cukinia króluje w kuchni włoskiej, to jest dobrym wyborem również w daniach innych kultur.. Możemy zastosować ją jako składnik leczo – przysmaku rodem z Węgier.. W garnku na rozgrzanym oleju podsmażamy 2 posiekane cebule.. Gdy cebule się zeszklą, dodajemy pokrojoną kiełbasę (1 pętko).. Kroimy w paski 2 papryki i dodajemy do garnka.. Następnie dokładamy 2 puszki pomidorów oraz przyprawy – oregano, estragon, paprykę w proszku, sól oraz pieprz.. W międzyczasie umytą i pozbawioną gniazd nasiennych cukinię kroimy w kostkę.. Gdy zawartość garnka zacznie się gotować, dodajemy cukinię i gotujemy wszystko na małym ogniu do momentu, aż cukinia zmięknie (ok.. 30 minut). Podajemy z chlebem.

Faszerowana cukinia

Cukinia faszerowana mielonym mięsem to wyśmienita propozycja na danie obiadowe.. Jej przygotowanie zajmuje nieco czasu, ale smak wart jest takiego nakładu pracy.. Myjemy 2 cukinie i przekrawamy na pół, a następnie wykrawamy środek.. Dużego pomidora sparzamy, ściągamy z niego skórę i kroimy w kostkę.. Cebulę szalotkę również kroimy w kostkę, a czosnek drobno siekamy.. Cebulę i czosnek podsmażamy na oleju, aż się zeszklą, a następnie dodajemy 500 g mielonego mięsa i podsmażamy do zarumienienia.. Dodajemy do niego pokrojonego pomidora i przyprawy (oregano, bazylię, słodką paprykę w proszku, sól i pieprz).. Całość gotujemy ok.. 10 minut, mieszając.. Tak przygotowanym farszem nadziewamy cukinie, które następnie wkładamy do rozgrzanego do 180°C piekarnika i pieczemy przez ok.. 30 minut.

Placki ziemniaczane z cukinią

Tradycyjny przepis na placki ziemniaczane możemy urozmaicić, dodając cukinię.. Wystarczy zetrzeć na tarce 1 cukinię, 2–3 duże ziemniaki, dodać 2 jajka, 4–5 łyżek mąki, sól, pieprz oraz mieszankę przypraw na grilla.. Wszystko dokładnie wymieszać.. Na rozgrzaną patelnię wlewamy odrobinę oleju i formujemy placuszki, które podsmażamy na rumiany kolor z obu stron.

Cukinia w cieście

Umytą cukinię kroimy w plastry 0, 5 cm.. Do 200 ml mleka wbijamy 2 jajka i mieszamy aż do połączenia się składników.. Dodajemy 8 łyżek mąki, łyżeczkę proszku do pieczenia, szczyptę soli oraz ½ łyżeczki słodkiej papryki w proszku.. Mieszamy wszystko aż do uzyskania jednolitej masy.. Na patelni rozgrzewamy olej. Plastry cukinii maczamy w cieście i podsmażamy z obu stron na patelni.

Zupa krem z cukinii

To pożywne i sycące danie może być składową obiadu lub lekką kolacją.. Świetnie zaspokoi głód, a do tego jest proste w przygotowaniu.. Potrzebujemy 1 dużej cukinii, którą kroimy w paski, wcześniej usuwając gniazda nasienne.. Dodajemy pokrojoną w paski 1 cebulę oraz 2 ząbki czosnku.. Wszystkie składniki podgrzewamy w garnku do zeszklenia.. Bierzemy 2 średnie ziemniaki, obieramy je i kroimy w kostkę.. Dodajemy do zeszklonych składników i wlewamy podgrzany wcześniej bulion warzywny – ok.. 1,5 litra. Wszystko gotujemy do miękkości, a następnie blendujemy i doprawiamy do smaku.. Przed podaniem możemy dodać grzanki lub ptysiowy groszek.

Chipsy z cukinii

Ta przekąska to świetny zamiennik tradycyjnych, ale mało zdrowych chipsów ziemniaczanych.. Do jej przygotowania potrzebujemy 1 cukinii, którą myjemy i kroimy w cienkie plastry.. Następnie każdy plaster polewamy niewielką ilością oleju i umieszczamy na blasze (każdy plaster osobno).. Wkładamy do rozgrzanego do 100°C piekarnika i pieczemy 90 minut.. Przed podaniem chipsy możemy posypać solą lub odrobiną słodkiej papryki w proszku.. Cukinia niejedno ma imię… To warzywo dzięki swojemu łagodnemu smakowi świetnie nadaje się jako dodatek do wielu dań.. A niewielka wartość kaloryczna sprawia, że cukinię można spożywać niemal bez ograniczeń.. Warto zatem docenić zalety młodszej siostry dyni.
