Lebanese breakfast; subtly spiced zucchini with eggs

15 min2 servings

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. 1

    In a non stick pan, add a good drizzle (2-3 tbsp) and heat the oil on medium

  2. 2

    Chop 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. 3

    As the zucchini is cooking, crack 3 eggs into a bowl and again season a little with a small sprinkle of salt

  4. 4

    Taste 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. 5

    Transfer to a plate and sprinkle a tiny bit of paprika, serve with fresh flatbreads.
