A Bit of History
Goat cheese is an ingredient with tradition in many cultures, appreciated not only for its distinct taste but also for its nutritional benefits. Rich in protein and calcium, goat cheese is easier to digest than other types of cheese, making it an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy a healthy lunch. Vegetables, on the other hand, are a source of essential vitamins and fiber, making this dish an ideal option for a healthy lifestyle.

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the Vegetables: Start by peeling all the vegetables. Wash them well under cold running water to remove any impurities. Then, cut the zucchini, carrot, and potato into julienne strips (or coarsely, as you prefer). Read more about the benefits of each vegetable to convince yourself of their nutritional contribution!

2. Dry Cooker Pan: Choose a Dry Cooker pan, which is ideal for cooking vegetables quickly and evenly. This type of pan helps retain flavors and nutrients, making it perfect for preparing vegetables. Add the chopped vegetables and let them cook for 20 minutes.

3. Adding Goat Cheese: After 10 minutes of cooking, lift the lid of the pan and add the goat cheese cut into half rounds. This will allow the cheese to melt easily and release its delightful aroma. Cover the pan again and let everything cook for another 10 minutes.

4. Onions and Garlic: In the last minutes of cooking, you can add the green onions and garlic. These will bring a note of freshness and flavor to your dish. If you are using more vegetables, after 5 minutes of cooking, add half a cup of water to prevent the vegetables from sticking.

5. Serving: Once the vegetables are cooked and the cheese has melted, it's time to serve! Arrange the vegetables on a plate and garnish with slices of fresh tomato. You can add a few basil or parsley leaves for an extra splash of color and flavor.

Useful Tips
- Variations: You can experiment with other vegetables, such as bell peppers or squash, to diversify the recipe. Additionally, you can substitute goat cheese with feta cheese for a different taste.
- Recommended Drinks: This recipe pairs perfectly with a glass of dry white wine or a cold herbal tea to complete the tasting experience.
- Calories and Nutritional Benefits: Each serving contains approximately 320 calories, providing a balanced meal rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The vegetables are low in calories, while goat cheese adds a healthy protein boost.
