Gheysavah

Gheysavah, a Persian omelette with dates and cinnamon, was exactly what we needed fora speedy dinner.

I had a cluster of Khalal dates from Pato's Dream Date Gardens in southern California just waiting for inspiration. This dish was it.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup dates, pitted and halved

• a couple of pinches of cinnamon

• a small pinch of ground ginger

• 3 Tablespoons water

• 3 eggs, beaten

• a pinch of salt

• 1 Tablespoon butter

Procedure

Place the dates, 1 pinch of cinnamon, ground ginger, and water in a small pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for few minutes until the dates have softened. The water should be completely absorbed or evaporated.

Add butter to the dates and heat until it's melted and bubbling. Space the dates out evenly, then pour in the beaten eggs. Cook until the omelette is set. Fold in half and slide onto you serving plate. Dust with more cinnamon before serving.
