Eggah Bi Korrat Recipes

KORRAT (LEEKS)

Steps:

• Wash the leeks carefully to remove any soil nestling between the leaves. Trim the root ends and cut off the tough green part of the leaves. Cut the rest into 2-inch pieces.
• Fry the garlic and sugar in hot oil for moments only, until the sugar becomes slightly caramelized. Add the leeks and turn them, over moderate heat, to color them lightly. Sprinkle with lemon juice, add salt, and barely cover with water. Stew gently over very low heat until the leeks are tender and the liquid is reduced. *probably only about 10-15 minutes - whoever makes this first please let me know!*.
• Serve hot or cold.

• In a large skillet, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons butter or oil until soft and just beginning to color. Add the zucchini slices, and sauté, stirring and turning them over, until soft and lightly colored.
• Beat the eggs and add the soaked bread, squeezed dry, crumbling it in your hand. Stir in the fried onion and the zucchini, and the chopped parsley and mint. Season lightly with salt and pepper and mix well.
• Heat the remaining butter or oil in the cleaned skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently over very low heat for about 20 minutes, until the eggs are set.

EGGAH BI KORRAT

Steps:

• Trim off the roots of the leeks and cut off the tough green tops. Make a slash along the leeks to the center to be able to wash carefully between the leaves. Cut into thin slices. Put the leeks in a large pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter or oil. Add sugar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Put the lid on and let the leeks stew in their own juice for 20 minutes, or until very soft, stirring occasionally.
• Beat the eggs lightly with a little salt, then stir in the leeks.
• Heat the remaining butter or oil in the cleaned skillet and pour in the leek mixture. Cook, covered with a lid, over low heat until the bottom sets. Then put under the broiler to cook the top until firm and lightly colored.
• Serve hot or cold.
• Variation
• Instead of sautéing, the leeks can be cut into large pieces, boiled in salted water until soft, and drained. Press the water out and chop in the food processor, then mix with the eggs.
