Add cabbage and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Combine with potato, flour, and baking powder, stirring well. Add eggs, turmeric, and shallot, stirring until thoroughly combined.
  • - Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. - Drizzle the remaining oil into a 20cm square or round ovenproof pan and place it in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up. - Carefully pour the potato mixture into the hot pan. - Bake for 15 minutes or until the dish is golden and set. - Sprinkle with harissa and additional parsley before serving. - Enjoy with rice, if desired.
