Zucchini And Green Pepper Sabzi Recipes

ZUCCHINI AND GREEN PEPPER SABZI

Steps:

• Pour oil into a large saucepan or wok, and set over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add asafetida, and in quick succession, cumin seeds and mustard seeds. As soon as mustard seeds begin to pop, add zucchini and green pepper. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add yogurt, and cook, stirring, until yogurt has been absorbed. Reduce heat to low, and add coriander, chaat masala, and salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Drizzle with lemon juice; toss to combine, and serve.

SQUASH & CABBAGE SABZI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the nigella seeds. When they start popping, add the ginger and garlic, and cook for 1 min. Add the squash, cabbage, spices and 1 tsp salt, then mix everything together well with a splash of water, covering the pan with a lid. Leave to steam for 7-8 mins over a low heat.
• After this time, lift the lid to check if the squash is cooked. If not, replace the lid quickly and leave to cook a little longer. Add the lime juice and check for seasoning before serving with dhal, chutney and rice or roti, if you like.

PEPPERS STUFFED WITH RICE, ZUCCHINI AND HERBS

Steps:

• Prepare the peppers. With a sharp paring knife, cut away the tops, then reach in and pull out the membranes and seeds.
• Toss the shredded zucchini with salt and let drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Take up handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the garlic, mint, parsley or dill, and rice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. Fill the peppers about 3/4 of the way full with the stuffing, and replace the caps. Place in the oiled baking dish. Mix together the tomato paste and water with the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Season to taste. Add to the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil. Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes to an hour, until the peppers are soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature, or serve hot. Remove the tops of the peppers and spoon the sauce in the baking dish over the rice before serving.

GRILLED PEPPERS AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Place the vegetables on a double layer of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 15 in.). Dot with butter; drizzle with soy sauce. Fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

ZUCCHINI RELISH WITH SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Toss zucchini, onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper with kosher salt in a large bowl. Allow vegetables to rest for 8 hours; rinse and drain vegetables thoroughly.
• Heat vegetables, sugar, cider vinegar, cornstarch, celery seed, and turmeric over medium heat until thickened, about 50 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the zucchini mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

• Add onion and cook, stirring often, until it starts to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chiles, garam masala, turmeric and red chile powder. Add salt and mix well. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are tender and the oil starts to separate, about 4 minutes.
• Add the cauliflower, potato, carrot, peas and 1/2 cup water and mix well. Cover and cook on medium for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook on high, stirring occasionally, to your desired sauciness, 2 to 5 minutes. Top with cilantro and serve.
