BAKED TUNISIAN EGGPLANT AND PEPPER FRITTATA



Baked Tunisian Eggplant and Pepper Frittata image

In Tunisia, baked omelets sometimes contain fish, while in Greece and Iran, yogurt is often stirred into the mix. Baked frittatas are easy to make and hold well in the refrigerator, and they're equally good hot, cold or at room temperature. Make one for dinner, and pack up the leftovers for lunch. Many of my favorite Tunisian omelets are baked in the oven. This one can range from mildly spicy to very spicy, depending on your taste.

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 to 1 1/4 pounds eggplant (1 large or 2 to 4 small)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
Salt to taste
2 to 4 garlic cloves to taste, minced
8 eggs
1/3 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated or cut in small cubes 1/2 cup, tightly packed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon harissa dissolved in 1 tablespoon water more to taste; optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and rub it with olive oil. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and score down the middle, being careful not to cut through the skin. Place the eggplant on the foil-covered baking sheet, cut side down. Place in the oven, and bake 20 minutes or until the skin has begun to shrivel and the eggplant has softened. Remove from the oven and transfer to a colander, cut side down. Allow to cool and drain for 10 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Cut the eggplant into small dice. Don't worry if the eggplant is so soft that it falls apart when you cut it up. If the charred edges on the cut side taste bitter, cut them away and discard them.
  • While the eggplant is in the oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet, and add the onion and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, stir in the garlic and eggplant and cook for one more minute, stirring. Remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place the remaining tablespoon of oil in a 2-quart casserole or a 9-inch cast iron skillet, brush the sides of the pan with the oil, and place in the oven. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the parsley, cheese, salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, cinnamon and cayenne. For a spicier dish, whisk in about a teaspoon of harissa or more, to taste. Stir in the eggplant mixture.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and pour in the egg mixture. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned on the top and set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes or longer before serving. Serve hot or at room temperature, cut into wedges or squares.

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup store-bought roasted vegetables or Anne Burrell's Roasted Veggie Ratatouille, recipe follows
1 eggplant, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
1 large zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
1 summer squash, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
3 beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram leaves
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, salt and pepper until combined. Preheat the oven to the broiler setting.
  • Add the olive oil to an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the eggs and vegetables. Let them cook, undisturbed, until the edges are set, about 2 minutes. Slip an offset spatula (a butter knife will work, too) under the sides and tilt the pan, to help the uncooked egg slide underneath. Repeat this all around the edge of the pan, until the top is wet but no longer runny.
  • Place the skillet under the broiler, and cook until the top is golden and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes, keeping a close eye so it doesn't burn. Remove the pan from the oven. Cut into 6 wedges, and serve immediately.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put the eggplant, zucchini, squash, and tomatoes in 1 layer on a baking sheet or baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Roast until the vegetables are soft and pliable, about 20 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle transfer them to a cutting board and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, crushed red pepper and season with salt, to taste. Saute until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and season again with salt, if needed. Cook until the peppers are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the roasted vegetables to the pan along with the vinegar, marjoram, and thyme. Toss well to coat and add 2 to 3 more tablespoons olive oil, if needed. Taste to check the seasoning and transfer to a serving platter or bowl. Voila!

EGGPLANT & ROASTED PEPPER FRITTATA



EGGPLANT & ROASTED PEPPER FRITTATA image

This very good besides being quick & easy to make. A frittata is firmer than an omelet because a frittata is cooked over low heat, you don't fold it like an omelet. They are finished under a broiler.
