    This is an easy and delicious recipe. Perfect as a make-ahead side dish.

    I didn’t have the ingredients, so I used pumpkin instead of zucchini! I think it turns out delicious if you add consommé as a secret ingredient and season it fairly generously with salt and pepper! It was so good that I’d love to make it again 😋

  • 🇯🇵 User from Japan

    It turned out delicious and was easy to make! It makes a lot, so I was happy I could serve it for dinner for about two days (*^^*) I didn’t have any bacon, so I used sausages and pork instead. They went really well with it!

  • 🇯🇵 User from Japan

    It was easy! I’m happy that it’s delicious and lets you eat plenty of vegetables, too♪

    I made this with chicken thighs instead of bacon. As mentioned in the comments, I added a little consommé and gave it a kick with coarsely ground black pepper. It was delicious 😊

    Delicious.

    Packed with plenty of vegetables, it’s healthy yet still satisfying.

    It’s delicious, well-balanced nutritionally, and one of my favorites.

    I make this when I’m feeling run-down and my stomach is a bit off, and it’s packed with vegetables too. My family loved it as well. I usually make a double batch, and it always disappears completely.

    I made this by changing the zucchini to 1/4 pumpkin, the yellow paprika to 3 small green peppers, adding 1 small onion and 3 small eggplants, and using 1 can of tomatoes. The pumpkin was sweet and delicious!
