bienvenidos and welcome to another episode of Spain on a fork so summer’s in full bloom and during this time there’s nothing better than making a
dish that uses seasonal produce is easy to make and fills your body with so much goodness
anyways today that’s exactly what we’re doing we’re making a zucchini egg salad sandwich and let me tell you this sandwich is filled with so many great flavors it’s very easy to make and the
best part it’s all done in about 30 minutes folks serve this sandwich next to a handful
of chips and a couple ice cold beers more specifically estrella damm from Barcelona you’re goingto have yourself the best moment of your day alright let’s just jump right into this
I’m going to add in six eggs into a saucepan and fill it with some water just
enough to barely cover the eggs and we’ll heat it with a high heat once it comes to a boil we’ll place a lid
on the pan and turn off the heat and we’re going to leave our eggs to sit there for exactly
10 minutes to end up with perfectly hard-boiled eggs in the meantime let’s start prepping
the zucchini I’m going to grab one zucchini that’s been washed and patted dry and using
a box grater finely shred it the length of the zucchini that I’m using is 7 in which is
about 17 cm and as you can see I’m leaving skin on it as it adds more nutrients and flavors
but if you prefer you can peel the zucchini then we’ll transfer the shredded zucchini into
a fine sieve with a bowl underneath and we’ll season it with sea salt and let it sit
there for about 10 minutes by taking this step that salt’s going to extract the
water out of the zucchini that way it’s not mushy and it keeps its
beautiful firm texture ok let’s move back to the eggs after leaving them there for exactly 10 minutes we’ll remove the pan from the stove top and drain the eggs into a
colander and then we’ll transfer the eggs into a bowl with some iced water and let
it sit there for about 3 minutes this is not only going to stop the eggs from cooking but
it’s going to bring them to room temperature after a couple minutes we’ll start peeling the
eggs and I like to do this over the bowl with the ice water as every time you dunk the egg in thereit makes it so much easier to remove the peel and then using a box grater we’ll finely
shred the hard-boiled eggs you can also finely chop them if you like but I tell you
by using this method it gives the egg salad a lighter and fluffier texture then we’ll
transfer the shredded eggs into a large bowl along with half a cup of mayonnaise which
is 120 g 1 tbsp of dijon mustard which is 15 g 1/3 cup of chopped red onion which is 50 g 1/4 cup of chopped celery which is 25 g 1/4 cup of chopped dill
pickles which is also 25 g one clove of garlic that’s been finely grated and
two tablespoons of chopped chives which is 6 g then we’ll squeeze in two teaspoons
of fresh lemon juice which is 10 ml and season with sea salt in a generous
portion of freshly cracked black pepper and we’ll give it a mix until
it’s well mixed together then we’ll move back to the zucchini
after leaving it there for about 10 minutes using a large wooden spoon we’ll
start pushing down on it this is to remove any of the water that’s been extracted then we’ll transfer the zucchini into the bowl
with the egg salad and give it one final mix until it’s well mixed together for the
final step let’s start prepping the bread I’m going to grab a couple slices of sandwich bread and lightly toast them i’m using whole wheat but you can use whatever bread you like the most important thing and like I’ve told in the past make sure to lightly toast it that wayonce you add the egg salad in there it doesn’t get mushy and break apart to assemble the sandwiches we’ll
add in some of the egg salad over a piece of toast and top it off with another piece of
toast check it out our zucchini and egg salad sandwich is done easy to
make simple everyday ingredients and all done in about 30 minutes let’s give
this a try and see how it turned out seriously folks look how beautiful this looks
this I can’t wait to try here we go I spilled a little bit dang it check
that out that is absolutely delicious such an exciting sandwich that egg salad
has the most beautiful flavors to it with the eggs and the zucchini really shining
through and the rest of the ingredients the perfect balance of goodness easy to
make simple everyday ingredients give it a try at home once again next to a handful of
chips and a couple ice cold beers estrella damm from Barcelona you’re going to have yourself a fabulous

Nice it has to be the best egg sandwich I've seen❤
This sandwich looks healthy and filling. It's good for the start of the day.
Wow thanks I never thought of putting Zucchini in egg salad😃 you are so amazing 😊❤️
YUMmmmmm 💋💋💋👍👍👍
Add a little fresh dill and holy guacamole!!!!! Even without this sandwich filler is 100% delicious just ate 4!!! 😅…ya'll gotta try #spainonafork vegetarian paella!!!! The absolute best vegetarian dish I've ever tasted!!!! 😋
Looks scrumptious. For me, you made the sandwich too thick — i detest messy food. Why not put the mixture in a bowl and then eat it with toast points to avoid spilling it all over?
YUM! 💚
This is egg salad with a Ph.D. ! Perfect for high-summer, with its hot days and abundant zucchini. But there's no getting around how messy it is to eat — just make sure you are well-equipped with napkins. Thanks, Albert!
For cooking the eggs, it’s important to know whether the eggs are at room temp, or chilled from the fridge. This will alter the cooking time.
that’s so cool looking! man, I need to try that.
Made the white bean sandwich-delicious. This is next. My father visited Spain so I tried making gazpacho. He told me what I made was not that. Please do a video on gazpacho.
This looks delicious! Btw, I made your Mediterranean garlic rice with chickpeas recipe the other night and everyone in my home loved it. It’s a keeper ❤😊
This looks so delicious, perfect for a warm summers day in your hemisphere. I’d still eat it on a cold winters day which I’m having here in Australia. Thanks Albert, would never have thought to use raw zucchini yum
A really nice take on how to use egg salad in a way that will make people love us forever haha. I can see myself eating this in 30 degrees, washing it down with an Estrella (or three) with friends in the garden.
Egg salad 🤢
👍🥰❤️
That looks so yummy!
That egg salad looks amazing even before you add the zucchini! (Which is good for me, since I don't like zucchini lol) I have to try it.
Also never thought to add courgette to an egg mayo sarnie, but we've got loads of them ready for picking, so I will give this a try tomorrow.
“An exciting sandwich” 🤣 But it does sound delicious! I’m making it this week.
Looks absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making this thanks/ Diolch
Looks really messy to eat, not one for work lunch!
Would look nicer if you cut the sandwich into a triangular shape.
Yum!
Fabulous Albert! ❤ As always, I love your take on ordinary meals and giving it the Spanish zing 🇪🇦 ❤ I will try this ❤Much appreciated and hope you are well. ❤❤
Wonderful! I’ve just boiled eggs and I have zucchini. Definite yes on this. I like the grated egg for a change (I have an egg slicer that I usually use.)
Who knew Zucchini and egg would go together! This was made last night and we love it. The flavor is amazing! Thank you!
You are an excellent chef and I love your videos! ❤ Great recipes, I've made many of your dishes with great success. Blessings!
