directions

  • Chop zucchini in half (so that it's semi-circle-shaped)and then slice thinly.
  • Put onion in a small pan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cover for 10-15 minutes - until cooked.
  • While the onions are cooking, steam zucchini. (If you prefer, you can saute them).
  • Beat eggs and season with salt,pepper and mint.
  • Drain onion and add it and the zucchini to the eggs. Mix well.
  • Heat a nonstick pan (or use a tsp olive oil) over high heat. Pour the mixture into the pan and cook through in the same way you would scramble eggs - 'scrape' cooked eggs off the bottom and let uncooked liquid fall udnerneath.
  • Enjoy !

  1. This was great! I spiced it up a bit by adding about a half a cup of fresh cut mushrooms, and cooked them up along with the zucchini and onions. I also would add some cumin - it really adds a great kick!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/258867/IMG_0034.JPG Me at Christmas , eyeing the mince pies , muaharhar. I'm sixteen years old and love to cook. Seriosuly , I always bug my mum when she's coming home - " Can I boil an egg ? Do you want me to put on the pasta ? " etc - and I have little tradition where I cook a complete dinner once a fortnight. Thats' generally what I review recipes for as I don't get a chance to cook the rest of the time :( Since I live in Hong Kong, I don't have access to a lot of the stuff most Recipezaar-ers in the US do , so I spend a lot of time filtering out refrigerated buttermilk biscuits , frozen pie shells, pastry flour and all those instant mixes >< Its' not just that I live in Hong Kong though , my pantry (physically impossible in a two-bedroom flat, but there in mind and spirit) is small. What I always have in the kitchen : plain flour, self-raising flour, sugar, cocoa, pasta, canned beans, canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, garlic, onion, some kind of cheese, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk, water, frozen berries, muesli. I guess a love of food is born in as I'm half-Italian. I go to Sicily every summer and its so different from here - there is this ...respect for food. I LOVE IT The other half of me has an ex-baking grandma ( she stopped after she had no-one to fatten up ) and I think I got a bit of that too , I absolutely ADORE making cakes, cookies,muffins but I hate having them around the house . I mulled over the idea of selling my baked stuff but in the end decided I'd probably get arrested for hawking and no-one would know what I was doing anyway. My rating system - ***** Perfect. this is for whatever the recipe claims to be, i.e. if a recipe a simple,quick, economic stew I won't give it *** for not being finicky or delicate. These are often foolproof, too :) **** Almost perfect, but there was something missing. *** All right . Not a bad recipe, but I didn't like it. ** Not enjoyable, but with some spark or facet with merit. * Godawful.
