How to make zucchini with minced meat in a pan? First of all, prepare all the necessary products. You can take any mince: chicken, beef, pork or mixed. It is better to take the meat and cook the mince yourself, but you can use the finished purchased one. Take a small, medium-sized onion, and adjust the amount of garlic to your liking or even remove it from the list of products.

Peel the onions and garlic and rinse in cold water. Shave the onions as finely as possible, and garlic in small cubes, or pass through a garlic digester.

Add the garlic onions to the minced meat, salt and pepper to taste. At this stage, it is permissible to add also favorite dry seasonings such as dry basil, oregano or a mixture of aromatic dried herbs. Knead the mince thoroughly and leave to brew for 5-10 minutes.

Wash the courgette and dry with paper wipes to get rid of excess moisture. Cut the vegetable into circles approximately 1-1. 5 centimeters wide.

Cut out the middle of the courgette in each circle. This can be done using a special mold, a small glass or a knife. I used a glass, so the holes turned out to be perfectly even and it turned out to be much easier and faster than a regular knife. Salt the circles lightly.

Stir the minced meat well again. Fill each courgette with minced meat. Do not fill too tightly so that the filling is not convex otherwise, during frying, it will disconnect from the courgette and the appearance of the dish will not be so appetising.

Roll each filled circle in flour from all sides.

In a thick-bottomed frying pan, heat the vegetable oil. Place the stuffed circles and fry them over a moderate heat for about 3x-4x minutes until browned. Navigate your stove.

Turn the courgettes and bring to readiness, frying for another three to four minutes. Put the finished circles on paper wipes to get rid of excess oil.

Ready, serve until cool.

If you have young squash without seeds and with a dense core, then the carved remnants of the circles can also be sprinkled with a little salt and fried.
