Zarangollo

Simple veggie starter/side dish from Murcia (Southeastern Spain)

⏲️ Prep time: 5 min

🍳 Cook time: 10-15 min

🍽️ Servings: 2

Ingredients

1 White onion

1 Eggplant

Olive oil

Egg (optional)

Directions

1. Cut onion in julienne (a third or half of an onion ring)

2. Cut the eggplant in slices or chunks that can fit in a teaspoon

3. Add oil to a pan (not a shallow one, wide and a bit deep is ideal if you have

one) until it barely covers the vegetables

4. Cook and stir in medium heat until they are tender, caramelized and

translucent

5. Kick up the heat to give them a crispy touch, but not for long

6. (Optional) Turn off the heat and crack open an egg on top

7. (Optional) Let the residual heat cook the egg. If it breaks just scramble it,

the recipe doesn’t call for anything fancy

8. You can serve the dish with that oil (provided it is not burnt) or keep it

for cooking other stuff
