Zucchini Stew

Today starts Lent in the Eastern churches and in the next few weeks I will try to offer many interesting and tasty recipes to those of you who have decided to fast. I will start with a light, yet full of vitamins zucchini stew.

Sauté the onions and leaks in a boiling pot until they get soft. Season with salt and paprika, and mix in the tomato purée.

Cut the zucchini into half-rounds and add them to the boiling pot. Pour a cup of hot water over the stew and let it simmer until the zucchini get soft. Mix the flour with cold water and add it to the stew. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes.

Remove the stew from the stove and sprinkle with chopped dill. The result is a sweet tasting meal with fresh flavor.
