SPICY ZUCCHINI OMELET
First place winner of the Summer 2011 Dining on a Dollar Contest, this is a quick and easy Mexican influenced omelet. The qualifying ingredients are zucchini, eggs, purple onion, cumin and salsa. Thanks to everyone who tested, reviewed and rated this recipe, I appreciate your time and comments. I have revised the recipe slightly based on reviews during the contest, and have added a step to saute the zucchini and onions prior to adding them to the eggs. Feel free to reduce the number of eggs to suit the number of diners or your personal preferences. Thanks again, everyone! :D *Tink

- Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat on medium heat.

- Pour egg mixture into skillet, over the onion and zucchini mixture, give it all a quick stir and then allow it to cook gently, untouched, for about 3 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently lift egg around the edges, pushing slightly in toward the center, to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook about 3-4 minutes, or until the top is mostly set.
- Pour the salsa in a straight line from one end of the omelet to the other, just off center.
- Gently pick up the opposite side of the omelet with your spatula and quickly fold it over onto the salsa.
- Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.
SPICY ZUCCHINI RELISH
I can't seem to make enough of this zippy, chunky relish. Zucchini creates a nice change of pace from the usual pickle relish, and the assortment of peppers adds a tongue-tingling bite.-Amy Martin, Bellefontaine, Ohio

- Shred the zucchini coarsely: This will help it cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will not cook evenly. Cook the zucchini in batches if necessary.

- Cook the zucchini over medium heat: This will help to prevent it from burning.

- Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch.
