Zucchini Kuku (Persian Fritata) image

I love, love, love kuku! It is so easy to throw together and can be enjoyed warm or cold. They are almost always vegetarian and have many variations. This one has zucchini; yum! As with all zucchini, you want to try and get as much water as you can out of the vegetable to avoid a mushy kuku. From My Persian Kitchen.

2 medium onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb zucchini, grated
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
