Servings:\u00a0 <\/span>6<\/em>
\nPrep. time: 5 minutes<\/em>
\nCooking time: 25 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n

Because cauliflower was called choux de Chypre (Cyprus cabbage) in French, some have thought it came from Cyprus.\u00a0 <\/span>It is more likely, however, that it came from India or southern Iran and was later introduced into Europe.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/strong> 6 eggs; \u00bd tsp. baking powder; 1Tbsp. flour or bread crumbs; \u00bd cup milk or soy milk; \u00bd cup Parmesan cheese, grated, or fresh mozzarella, shredded; \u00bc cup vegetable oil or butter; 1 small onion, peeled & thinly sliced; 2 cloves garlic, peeled & crushed; 1 small head cauliflower or 1 lb. frozen florets, coarsely chopped; 2 tsp. salt, \u00bd tsp. freshly ground black pepper; 1 tsp. ground cumin; \u00bc tsp. ground paprika; \u00bc tsp. turmeric; 1\/8 tsp. cayenne; \u00bc cup chopped fresh parsley or basil.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 <\/span>You may replace the cauliflower with a combination of 1 lb. mushrooms and l lb. spinach.\u00a0 <\/span>Or use l lb. leeks (thinly sliced, white part only), asparagus, zucchini, or eggplant.<\/i><\/p>\n

Directions<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span>
\nBreak the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the baking powder, flour, milk, and cheese, and whisk lightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat the oil in a medium-sized nonstick skillet over low heat.\u00a0 <\/span>Add the onion and stir-fry for 5 minutes until translucent.\u00a0 <\/span>Add the garlic, cauliflower, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, turmeric, chili, and parsley, and stir-fry for 5 to 10 minutes until the cauliflower is soft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pour the egg mixture over the cauliflower in the skillet.\u00a0 <\/span>Cook over low heat for 6 to 10 minutes until set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 1 minute to brown the top.<\/span>
\nServe warm or cold with yogurt and flat bread.\u00a0 <\/span>Garnish with herbs.<\/span><\/p>\n
