Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil onto a hot pan. Add shredded vegetables. Set temperature to medium. Add cumin and a pinch of salt, Sautee for five minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Add a sprinkle of water or oil if pan becomes dry as vegetables cook. Whisk eggs and pour over vegetables. Reduce temperature to low. Add fennel leaves. Cook for five minutes. Transfer to oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Eggs should ne slightly runny, but set. Transfer to a plate. Garnish with leftover fennel leaves. Serve as slices along a nice green salad. PS. Leftovers are great for lunch. Enjoy!

KALE AND FENNEL SKILLET

I love to mix different vegetables together and use unexpected herbs and spices to change things up. If you can't find apple sausage for this skillet, a good mild Italian sausage would work just fine. -Patricia Levenson, Santa Ana, California
