Ingredients

  • 1 green zucchini, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 carrot, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 radish, sliced
  • 2 onions, thinly shaved
  • Zest and juice of 4 lemons
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt
  • White pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Pickled vegetables of your choosing, for garnish

Method

  • Lay the zucchini, carrot and radish out on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with the onions, sprinkle with the zest and juice and black pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Let marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium glass bowl, and beat them until they turn pale yellow.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed nonstick saute pan over medium-low heat; add the butter, and let it melt.
  • Sprinkle the eggs with some salt and white pepper, then grab your whisk and whisk like crazy.
  • When the butter in the pan is hot enough to make a drop of water hiss, pour in the eggs.
  • Let the eggs cook for up to a minute-don't stir!-or until the bottom starts to set.
  • With a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push 1 edge of the eggs into the center of the pan while tilting the pan to allow the still-liquid eggs to flow in underneath.
  • Repeat with the other edges until there's no liquid left.
  • Your eggs should now resemble a bright yellow pancake, which should easily slide around on the nonstick surface.
  • If it sticks at all, loosen it with your spatula.
  • Gently flip the egg pancake over, using your spatula to ease it over if necessary.
  • Cook for another few seconds, or until there is no uncooked egg left.
  • With your spatula, lift 1 edge of the egg and fold it across and over, so the edges line up; don't overcook or allow the egg to turn brown.
  • If necessary, you can flip the entire omelet over to cook the top for 30 seconds or so.
  • Just don't let it get brown.
  • Gently transfer the finished omelet to a plate.
  • Serve with the marinated vegetables, and top with pickled vegetables.
