PREPARATION
1. Cook in a vegetable steamer the zucchini and carrots, cut into round slices, and the turnips, cut into cubes: the vegetables should be al dente.

2. In a bowl add 2 or 3 (depending on the size of the eggs) spoonfuls of water to the eggs, beat them together with pinches of salt and pepper, then add the mixture gently to the vegetables.

3. Grease a non-sticking pan with oil and when the pan is hot, pour in the mixture and cook over a low flame until the edges of the omelet tell you that the bottom is done; flip it over, using a plate, and cook it on the other side. It may be served either hot or just warm.
