Zucchini Ankara

We had a very good summer for zucchini. This year we grew yellow zucchini, and froze a lot so we would have it during the year.
Zucchini that has been frozen works best in stews or soups. This makes a very tasty meal, especially when served over couscous that has been cooked with 1 cube of vegetable bouillon.
