How to make the perfect frittataā¦
Ingredients:
- 1 large white onion, or 6 spring onions
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 200g broad beans, podded and jackets removed
- 6 large eggs
- chopped herbs of your choice, dill, mint or parsley are all good
- 100g ricotta (sheep or cows milk) or 50g grated parmesan
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Step by step:
1. Thinly slice your onion. Use a medium size non stick frying pan to warm the oil. Add the onion and fry until very soft. Add the broad beans and cook for two minutes.
2. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour them over the vegetables.
3. Cook the frittata over a low heat. As the edges start to set pull them away from the side of the pan with a spatula.
4. When the base is set, get ready to flip your frittata. Place a plate upside down on your frittata, invert your pan and then slide the frittata back into the pan to finish cooking the other side.
Some people like their frittata slightly runny in the centre, a bit like an omelette. If you prefer it a little more well done just give it another few moments in the pan.
Note: Finish your frittata under the grill if you prefer.
