Today, I present to you another regional dish from Spain. This time from the beautiful region of Murcia in Southeastern Spain. We are talking Zarangollo Murciano. This dish is basically Spanish Scrambled Eggs with Zucchini. Truly, one of the BEST egg dishes I have ever tasted.
The best part about this recipe, is that it´s made with just a couple basic ingredients. Eggs, onions and zucchini. What makes this dish so special, is the way the ingredients are cooked. The eggs are not fully whisked, which gives them different textures and flavors, the onions are caramelized and the zucchini is cooked until lightly golden.
But in all honesty, the most important ingredient in this recipe is the olive oil. Make sure to use a great Spanish olive oil to make this recipe. It´s what cooks & flavors all the ingredients and gives this dish that punch of Spanish goodness.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: Make sure to use a nonstick fry pan here. That way the eggs don´t stick to the pan. When cooking the onions & zucchini, make sure to be on a medium-high heat. This way the onions caramelize, and it also helps the zucchini release all its water content. Which gives the zucchini and incredible texture and flavor. And of course, lower the fire to a low-medium heat before you add the eggs. That way they don´t over cook.
