Healthy Vegan - My Big Fat Persian Kuku
Happy Valentines dear readers.
I've made Persian Kuku many times before, for those of you unfamiliar with it - Bake of the Week; Belleau Kitchen for click on this link to learn more. Kuku's are a Persian omelette and what I present to you is not exactly one - though it did start of originally as a Kuku . I should have made it in a wide frying pan, but I wanted to get all fancy for Valentines day and made it in a silicone heart shaped mould.
This Persian Kuku puffed up like a aerated blow up bed, then settled down quite calmly. Once it was unmoulded, the top was a blanket of beetroot red.
I am sharing this Savoury Cake with Casa Costello for Bake of the Week; Belleau Kitchen for Simply Eggcellent; and Bake of the Week; Belleau Kitchen for Love Cake.

It looked fabulous and sliced wonderfully. I have to say it tasted pretty marvellous too. D loved it as it contained two of his favourite vegetables - beetroot and cauliflower. I'd almost describe it as a cross between Spanish Tortilla and Frittata, but its neither - so I call it a big fat Persian Kuku. or affectionately Chubby Kuku.
