Zucchini Kuku (Persian Fritata)
"I love, love, love kuku! It is so easy to throw together and can be enjoyed warm or cold. They are almost always vegetarian and have many variations. This one has zucchini; yum! As with all zucchini, you want to try and get as much water as you can out of the vegetable to avoid a mushy kuku. From My Persian Kitchen."
