Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 large Onion
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis and trim off the ends. Cut them into thin slices or small cubes, depending on your preference.
Peel the onion and slice it thinly into half-moons.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Add the zucchini to the pan and stir well to combine. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and starts to brown slightly. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork until well combined.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs over the zucchini and onion mixture in the pan.
Stir gently and continuously with a spatula to scramble the eggs and distribute them evenly throughout the vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft. Avoid overcooking to maintain a creamy texture.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the Zarangollo rest for a minute before serving.
Serve warm with crusty bread or as a side dish to your favorite meal. Enjoy!
