Persian Date And Cinnamon Omelette (Qeysava)

¼ cup pitted Medjool dates, halved, can opt for Deglet Noor

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

3 tablespoons boiling water

2 eggs

1/8 teaspoon Himalayan salt

2 teaspoons whole milk

1 tablespoon butter

Place the dates, cinnamon and ginger in a small bowl and submerge in 3 tablespoons boiling water.



Allow the dates to soften for 10 minutes. Remove the dates from the water (reserve water) and chop into smaller pieces.

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the water, milk and salt; whisk to combine until fluffy.

Put a frying pan over a low heat and let it get hot. Add the butter. When the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the dates and fry for 2 minutes.

Space the dates out evenly in the pan and then pour the egg mixture in, giving the pan a gentle shake to spread them out evenly.



Cook until the omelette is almost set and then fold in half and lightly press down. Slide onto a plate and dust with cinnamon just before serving.

      With the past 3-5 years of migration of people from other countries coming into our town I thought I would try out new dishes other than typical American tastes. My wife really loved this dish.
