-In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add chopped onion, scotch bonnet pepper and rosemary and season with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool completely.
-Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, turmeric, 2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper. Stir in Parmesan. Stir eggs and basil into onion mixture, then add to flour mixture.
