sgusa,
Pls. post the zuchini/spr onion fritata recipe.(pic wud be a bonuss, but def. the recipe)

The Zucchini:

     1.25 pounds (about 4 large ones) - grated coarsely ( food processor is best for handling this). Salt and let sit in a colander. Heat a large skillet (I used a cast ron 12" skillet), add 2 tablespoons of OO (Light is fine). Add 2 large garlic cloves finely minced, and 1 full bunch of spring onions (scallions) finely chopped. cook for about 15 seconds on mid-high heat, then pour in the grated zucchini and stir freq and cook for 6-7 mins until it is dry and starts crisping. Set aside.

The Eggs:

    Beat 6-8 eggs in a bowl with salt and fresh ground pepper. Add 1 tablespoon marjoram . Grate a chunk of parmigiana  - use about 1/3rd a cup of finely grated cheese, and mix into the eggs. Reserve the rest ( need about 1/4th a cup ) of the grated cheese for latter.

Doing the deed:

    Mix the eggs and the zucchi together. Make sure the skillet is back to temp (med-high), pour in about 2 tbps of OO and pour in the egg mix. cook for a min, then give the skillet a few quick jerks to make sure the mixture is struck to the bottom. Then reduce the heat to low-medium and cookf or 6 mins or so until the eggs are set and the top is almost dry.

   sprinkle the reserved grated cheese on  top, making sure to cover the surface completely, and (having remembered to pre-heat the broiler), place the skilled under the broiler until the cheese is golden brown. It should have a nice crunch to it.

Having your Fritata and eating it too:

   Cut a wedge of the fritata ( a 1/3 would do nicely) and serve with salsa verde. A chilled beer, or white and even most table reds would go swimmingly with this. there will be more than 1/2 left even if you are super hungry. So wrap in foil and pop that into the chill chest for later.

I would do well to be the salt container in AB's kitchen.
