Feta And Cauliflower Frittata Recipes

CAULIFLOWER AND TOMATO FRITTATA WITH FETA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch skillet, preferably nonstick. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to smell fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with liquid, sugar, salt and basil sprig or thyme. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant, dry sauce, about 20 minutes. Remove basil sprig. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• While sauce is simmering, steam cauliflower 5 to 8 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Add to tomato sauce and break up into small pieces with the back of your spoon. If possible, refrigerate uncovered overnight or for a few hours.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, tomato sauce with cauliflower, feta, optional olives and herbs.
• Clean and dry skillet and return to heat. Heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl pan to distribute eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up edges of frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let eggs run underneath during first few minutes of cooking.
• Once a few layers of egg have set, turn heat down to very low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 to 15 minutes, shaking pan gently every once in a while and lifting up the frittata and tilting the pan to let egg run underneath. Frittata should be just about set, except for the top.
• Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Uncover pan and place under broiler, not too closeto heat, for 1 to 3 minutes, watching very carefully to make sure top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown in spots and puff under the broiler). Remove from heat, shake pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. Loosen edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or cold.

FETA AND DILL FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Whisk the eggs, 1/4 cup yogurt, the dill, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in an 8-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Pour in the egg mixture. As the edges start to set, scrape them with a rubber spatula and push the cooked egg toward the middle of the pan. Continue doing this until the eggs are about half cooked, 2 to 3 minutes, then stop stirring and let the edges set, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the feta on top.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is set and just a little soft in the middle when pressed, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool in the skillet for a few minutes, then slide out onto a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, slice the cucumbers and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Let sit 5 minutes, then drain off any liquid. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Warm the pitas in the oven, about 3 minutes; tear into quarters. Cut the frittata into wedges and divide among plates along with the cucumber salad and pita. Top the cucumber salad with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the pomegranate seeds.

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.
