On such hot days like today I don't feel hunger but when I want to eat something I look for light products with high water contents. My first choice is almost always zucchini as with its tenderness and fresh delicate flavour it can be a perfect ingredient of baked, fried, steamed or stewed dishes.

If you think zucchini is a bit bland you should have a look at Garlic Lemon and Parmesan Zucchini which I found on Cooking Classy. Jaclyn, who is a zucchini expert, spiced it up with a garlic lemon oil and topped it with plenty of parmesan cheese. The dish is surely not as low in calories as zucchini itself but judging by the look I'd dig in the whole plate of it.

I'll keep this recipe for a hunger pang. Will you? I can also recommend Stuffed Zucchini which I tested some time ago.
