Unpretentious Croatian vegetable casserole with aromatic herbs. The dish can serve as a side dish, as well as be the main dish. It is very convenient that the potatoes can be boiled in advance, while you can cook it "in uniform".

How to cook Seaside fruit casserole

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in their skins, peel and cut into thin slices. Peeled zucchini cut into thin strips or slices, roll in flour and fry on both sides.

Step 2

Tomatoes, peeled, chopped and stewed in oil. At the end, add basil, breadcrumbs and parsley.

Step 3

Grease a baking dish with oil and lay out layers of zucchini and potatoes. Salt each layer and pour over the stewed tomato sauce. The top layer should be zucchini. Next, pour the vegetables with a mixture of sour cream, cheese and 1 tsp. olive oil and bake in an oven heated to 180-190 * for 10 minutes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best results.

Is this recipe suitable for a vegetarian diet?

Yes, this casserole is vegetarian-friendly as it contains no meat. For a vegan version, substitute sour cream and cheese with plant-based alternatives.

Can I make this casserole low-carb?

To reduce carbs, omit the potatoes and breadcrumbs, and increase the amount of zucchini or use cauliflower slices as a substitute.

What can I serve with this casserole for a complete meal?

Pair it with a fresh green salad, crusty bread, or grilled chicken for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Lightly salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels before frying to remove excess moisture.
