Step-by-step preparation of zucchini and tomato snacks, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the zucchini under running water and dry with a paper towel so that there is not a drop of liquid. Otherwise, on contact with fat during frying, there will be a lot of splashes that can burn and stain the stove. Then cut off the ends from both sides of the vegetable and cut the courgettes into rings 5 mm thick.
2. Wash and dry the tomatoes with a paper towel. Slice the tomatoes into 5mm rings. I recommend taking tomatoes with firm pulp and medium size. Peel the garlic.
3. Place the frying pan on the stove, add vegetable oil and heat. Add the zucchini and turn on medium heat. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
4. Turn the courgettes over, season with salt and black pepper and brown until golden brown.
5. Place the fried courgettes on a serving plate.
6. Squeeze garlic through a press on each circle of vegetable and pour a little mayonnaise or sour cream. Adjust the amount of garlic and mayonnaise yourself to your liking. If you want to make the snack more dietary, you can exclude mayonnaise from the recipe.
7. Place the tomato rings on the zucchini.
8. Season the tomatoes with minced garlic and top with mayonnaise. Serve the prepared zucchini and tomato appetizer to the table. If you wish, you can put it on toast, baguette slices, cookies or crispbread.
