The Spanish conquerors introduced it to Europe in the 16th century, where it quickly met with great success. Zucchini can be eaten cooked or raw like cucumbers. It is common in Mediterranean gastronomy. Cooked, it is eaten boiled, sautéed, fried, stuffed, gratin or soup. Often combined with white meat or fresh cheese, it is also part of ratatouille. It is also used in vegan cakes, replacing butter, giving them a soft texture without changing the taste. The sterile male flowers are removed early so as not to slow down fruiting and are eaten, stuffed or in fritters, particularly in the Balkans, in Italy, in the Provençal region and especially in Nice. Stuffed zucchini flowers are a specialty of Vietnamese cuisine. There are different colors for zucchini. The best known is of course the green one but there are yellow ones which are much milder than green zucchini. We use zucchini in our canned ratatouille and given the success of our veloutés, we decided to expand the range with this delicious can of zucchini velouté and a good tomato tourin. Preparation advice: Reheat over low heat in a saucepan, stirring lightly. It can be garnished with a little grated cheese and/or a few garlic croutons. With a zucchini velouté we advise you to serve: a Gaillac Rosé, a Vacqueyras Rosé, a Vinho Verde Blanc, a Cassis Rosé, a Faugères Rosé, a Languedoc, a Pic Saint Loup Rosé, a Lirac Rosé.
