Egg, zucchini, and tomato Peruvian-inspired stir-fry, a delicious take on lomo saltado.
Ingredients:
  • 1 extra large zucchini - halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into French fries
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch Italian seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped, or to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger, or to taste
  • 2 pounds fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 cups cooked rice
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Add flour and Italian seasoning to the zucchini strips in a resealable plastic bag, then shake well to coat.
  • Preheat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the coated zucchini slices for 3 minutes until golden. Drain on a wire rack, season with salt, then briefly fry again until lightly browned for about 3 minutes. Keep warm in the oven on the wire rack.
  • In a deep pot over medium heat, shimmer some olive oil. Sauté the onion until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, eggs, soy sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Serve the saltado over a bed of steamed rice and garnish with crispy zucchini fries.
