Nutritional values

Zucchinis are rich in potassium and magnesium. We need these minerals for various metabolic processes and to strengthen muscles and nerves. Together with Parma ham, which contains various B vitamins that also have a positive effect on our nerves, this dish is true brain food. The Parma ham has another advantage over other raw hams: it is air-dried and therefore free of carcinogenic substances which are produced by smoking.

The eye is with: To bring more color to your plate, you can mix green and yellow zucchini. Red pesto is also suitable as a filling for chicken breast. For this you cut dried tomatoes very finely and put them into the pesto instead of basil. Also try our basic recipe for a light pesto as an alternative: https://eatsmarter.de/rezepte/leichtes-pesto

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the zucchini for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and mix with the basil.
