Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef or veal
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 large potato, chopped or grated (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large, preferably nonstick skillet, fry the onion in 3 tablespoons oil until golden.
  2. Add the ground meat, crush it with a fork, and stir and turn it over for about 810 minutes, until it changes color, adding salt and pepper and the spices.
  3. Beat the eggs lightly.
  4. Drain off any fat through a sieve from the meat and onion, then add them to the eggs along with the parsley.
  5. Add the potato, if you like, and mix well.
  6. Heat the remaining oil in the cleaned skillet.
  7. Pour in the egg mixture, reduce the heat to as low as possible, and cover with a lid.
  8. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the eggs have set and only the top is still runny.
  9. Put the frying pan under a hot broiler until the top is firm and lightly browned.
  10. Turn out and serve hot or cold, cut into wedges like a cake.
  11. Use a boiled and mashed potato instead of a chopped or grated one.
