Pea porridge with vegetables and dried mushrooms. Fragrant, crumbly, delicious. The dish is being prepared almost without your participation, it is enough to put all the ingredients in a baking dish and put it in the oven.
Last summer in Greece, we were served this dish at a hotel. I really liked it. Once at home, I cooked it, slightly improving the cooking technology (there was too much oil in the hotel, and the zucchini looked like stew). Now this is one of my favorite zucchini recipes. A frequent dish on our summer table.
The whole family liked the side dish. You can’t find exactly such a recipe on the website. Therefore, I am happy to share with you the recipe of a fragrant side dish for a fast-cooking dish, which is relevant especially in the heat.
