Zucchini caviar is a very healthy snack, especially for people who lack vitamins, minerals and fiber in their diet. It is also indicated for overweight people. This dish can be included in the dietary menu for diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, disorders of the liver and gallbladder. The product stimulates the motility of the alimentary canal and is useful for constipation. It is delicious to eat squash caviar on its own, smearing it on a fresh crust of bread or applying it to a cracker. However, cooked dishes turn out to be no less tasty with it. For example, caviar is added to soup, used in vegetable salads as a dressing, added to minced meat for frying cutlets and pancakes. However, meat dishes stewed in it are no less tasty. Today I propose to cook "a la" bolognese with squash caviar.
Any type of meat is suitable for this dish. If you want to make a less nutritious treat, use chicken, turkey, or veal. And if extra pounds are not scary, then pork, lamb, beef, etc. will do. In addition, the meat can be twisted in a meat grinder, cut into small or large cubes. The method of slicing will, of course, affect the final result of the dish. However, in any case, the food will turn out to be very tasty.

3. Put the sautéed onion and garlic in a frying pan with meat.
4. Add the squash caviar to the pan, stir and bring to a boil.
5. Then immediately add salt, ground pepper and any spices. I used dried basil, dried parsley and sweet ground paprika.
