Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. For this recipe, it's best to use small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth skin.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the zucchini, make sure to leave enough space between each slice so that they can brown properly.
  • Cook the zucchini until it is tender but still has a slight bite. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use fresh dill. Fresh dill has a much more intense flavor than dried dill, so it's worth the extra effort to find it.
  • Serve the zucchini in dill cream sauce immediately. This dish is best served fresh, so don't let it sit for too long before eating.

Conclusion:

Zucchini in dill cream sauce is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up any extra zucchini you may have on hand. This versatile dish can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to prepare zucchini, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
