Zucchini Omelets
- 1 cup coarsely grated zucchini
- 1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onions
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 to 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- One 12-ounce package pita bread (6 per package) or homemde pita bread , warmed in the toaster oven and cut into quarters
- Sliced ripe tomatoes, ketchup, and Syrian Pickles (optional)
- Place all the ijeh ingredients in a medium-size bowl and mix well.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat for 30 to 45 seconds, reduce the heat to medium, and drop 1 tablespoon of the zucchini mixture at a time into the hot oil.
- (Stir the mixture often to keep the eggs from separating from the zucchini before spooning into the skillet.)
- Fry 3 to 4 portions at a time until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a plate covered with paper towels to drain.
- Fry the remaining ijeh in the same fashion, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- (Any type of ijeh may be prepared in advance and set aside at this point.
- To reheat, place on a baking sheet or ovenproof plate, cover with aluminum foil, and place in a preheated 350F oven until sizzling.
- Ijeh may also be fried, frozen, and then reheated while still frozen in the same manner.)
- Have hot quarters of pita bread ready.
- Place the ijeh in the pockets and serve immediately with sliced tomatoes, ketchup, and Syrian Pickles, if desired.
