2. 1 lemon unit
3. 500 milliliters of water
4. 1 pinch of salt
5. 1 pinch of ground black pepper
6. ½ dessert spoon of Turmeric
7. 1 handful of basmati rice
8. 1 unit of Onion
9. 2 tablespoons of olive oil

How to make Zucchini Cream with Rice:

• We gather all the ingredients to prepare the zucchini cream with rice.
• First, fry the onion in not very thin slices with a little olive oil. Let it cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Next, add the peeled and sliced ​​courgettes. If you feel like it, you can leave a little of the skin, well washed, so that it gives more color to the cream. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
• On the other hand, we cook the basmati rice in a pot with plenty of boiling water. The amount of rice depends on your taste but normally a small handful is added for each person (about 1 and a half tablespoons). The cooking time will depend on the manufacturer’s instructions. Once cooked, strain and reserve.
• Add the zest of a lemon to the zucchini. Remove and add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
• It is time to incorporate the turmeric. With just a pinch, the cream takes on a very exotic flavor and also gives it a beautiful color. We remove well.
• Cover the courgettes with water or vegetable broth and cook for 10-13 minutes over medium-high heat. If you want them to cook before you can cover the pot.
• We beat the zucchini cream with the help of a blender and if necessary we rectify salt. It is necessary to beat until there is a fine cream, if necessary add a little more water or vegetable broth.
• We serve the zucchini cream with basmati rice in the same bowl. You can decorate with a little chopped fresh coriander that gives it a very good flavor. If you are lovers of healthy soups and creams, you can try the onion and thyme soup or the cauliflower and pumpkin soup. We hope you like it!
