Ingredients

baguette · egg · zucchini · onion · olive oil · salt

The *Bocadillo de Zarangollo* is a Murcian sandwich built around *zarangollo*, a soft scramble of courgette and onion bound loosely with egg. It is not an omelette in a wedge; it is a wet, spoonable vegetable scramble tucked into bread, which makes it a different eating experience from the firmer potato *tortilla* it is often shelved next to. The character comes from the courgette cooking down until it almost dissolves, with onion sweetening alongside it and just enough egg to pull the mixture together without turning it into a set omelette.

The build starts in the pan, not the bread. Courgette is sliced or diced and cooked slowly in olive oil, usually with onion added so the two soften together; the courgette should collapse and give up its water, which is then cooked off so the scramble is creamy rather than soupy. Beaten egg is stirred through at the end over low heat, just until it sets in soft curds and binds the vegetables loosely. The hot or warm scramble is spooned into a *barra* or rustic roll. Good execution is a tender, almost jammy courgette-and-onion base with egg that stays soft and barely set, seasoned simply with salt. Sloppy execution is watery scramble that soaks and splits the bread, courgette left in firm raw-tasting chunks, or egg cooked hard and rubbery so the whole thing turns into a bad omelette by accident. Bread that can hold a damp filling without going to mush matters more here than with a dry wedge.

The dish is regional, so the variations track Murcian home cooking: some cooks keep it strictly courgette, onion, and egg; others add a little potato to firm it up, which nudges it closer to omelette territory. The amount of egg is the main lever, more for a sandwich that holds together, less for a looser spoon-it-in style. The Galician seasoned-pork *zorza* and the standard potato *tortilla* are sometimes grouped with it on menus, but each is a distinct preparation and deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here.
