Egyptian Eggplant Omelet

Egyptian Eggplant Omelet


1. Peel eggplant; halve it lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/2 inch slices, then cut slices into 1/2 inch strips. You should have about 4 cups of eggplant.

2. In a covered saucepan cook eggplant and onion in a small amount of boiling salted water about 5 minutes or just till tender; drain well. Pat any excess water off the vegetables with paper towels.

3. In a 10 inch oven-going skillet cook beef or lamb and garlic till meat is brown; drain off the fat. Stir in eggplant mixture; spread on the bottom of the skillet.

4. Combine eggs, parsley, coriander, salt, cumin, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Carefully pour over meat and vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat. As eggs set, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting the eggs to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. Continue cooking and lifting until mixture is almost set. (about 10 minutes).

5. Place under the broiler about 5 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or till set and golden.
