How to Make Tunisian Style Baked Cauliflower Frittata Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly oil a 2-quart casserole dish (earthenware or 9-inch cast iron skillet) with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 large head of cauliflower (about 2 lbs) and boil gently until very tender, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, steam the cauliflower for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove cauliflower from water, transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, and drain well.
  5. Cut the cauliflower florets from the stem and mash into small pieces using a fork (approximately 3 cups).
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add 2 cloves garlic (minced) and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs.
  9. Season eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Stir in the mashed cauliflower, cooked onion and garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon ground caraway, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  11. If using 1 teaspoon harissa paste, dissolve it in 1 tablespoon of water and stir into the egg mixture. Otherwise, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste.
  12. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  13. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
  14. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature (traditional Tunisian style)!
