👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Melt the butter and olive oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic 4 minutes.
    StoveFrying pan
  2. 2
    Add the zucchini and fry 5 minutes, until it softens.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the sour cream, cumin, salt and black pepper.
  4. 4
    Turn down the heat and simmer 8 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle the cheese on top and serve hot.
