Zucchini with eggs (Kousa w bayd)

Lebanese breakfast; subtly spiced zucchini with eggs

📝 Ingredients

• 1 small zucchini
• 3 free range eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Tiny pinch 7 spice
• Sprinkle of salt
• Sprinkle of paprika
• Mild olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a non stick pan, add a good drizzle (2-3 tbsp) and heat the oil on medium
2. 2Chop the zucchini on the finer side into roughly 5mm cubes. Transfer to the pan, add the black pepper, 7 spice and sprinkle a little salt. Sauté for around ten minutes until done (add a lid to help steam along)
3. 3As the zucchini is cooking, crack 3 eggs into a bowl and again season a little with a small sprinkle of salt
4. 4Taste one zucchini cube to see if it is done and then add the eggs (adding a small drizzle of mild olive oil if necessary) and scramble to your preference. I like to cook them for about 3-5 minutes on high heat.
5. 5Transfer to a plate and sprinkle a tiny bit of paprika, serve with fresh flatbreads.
