Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 medium head cauliflower (about 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed of leaves, bottom of the stem trimmed away
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons ground caraway seeds
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon harissa dissolved in 1 teaspoon water, or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a 2-quart casserole, preferably earthenware or in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, and brush the bottom and sides of the dish with the oil.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Add the cauliflower and boil gently until very tender, about 15 minutes. If you prefer, you can cut up the cauliflower and steam it for 15 minutes. Using slotted spoons or tongs remove the cauliflower from the water (or from the steamer), transfer to a bowl of cold water and drain. Cut the florets from the stem and mash into little pieces with a fork. You should have about 3 cups.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, stir together for about 30 seconds and remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir in the cauliflower, onion and garlic, parsley, ground caraway and Parmesan. Make sure the harissa is dissolved in the water if using, and stir in; otherwise stir in the cayenne. Scrape into the casserole dish.
  • Place in the oven and bake 40 minutes, or until set. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. In Tunisia these frittatas are served at room temperature, but you can also serve it hot.

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables: Before you start cooking, wash and chop your cauliflower, kale, and onion. This will save you time and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give the frittata plenty of room to cook evenly. If you don't have a large skillet, you can use two smaller skillets.
  • Cook the cauliflower and kale until they are tender: This will help to ensure that the frittata is cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the cauliflower and kale to the skillet, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will help the vegetables to cook evenly.
  • Use a spatula to gently stir the frittata: This will help to prevent the frittata from sticking to the skillet.
  • Cook the frittata until it is set: The frittata is done cooking when it is set in the center. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the frittata. If the toothpick comes out clean, the frittata is done.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the frittata from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This cauliflower kale frittata is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that is perfect for busy mornings. It is packed with vegetables and protein, and it is also low in calories and fat. The frittata can be served hot or cold, and it is also a great option for meal prep.
