Ingredients
Herb & Pea Frittata
12 eggs
2 onions
1tbsp white wine vinegar
250g new potatoes
2 cloves garlic
3 tbsp ricotta
50g flat leaf parsley
50g fresh mint
30g fresh tarragon
300g peas
salt
pepper
olive oil
Sourdough pesto
120g flat leaf parsley
50g fresh tarragon
50g fresh mint
3tbsp capers
3 garlic cloves
zest & juice 1 lemon
75g sourdough breadcrumbs
80g grated parmesan
170-220g extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
Method
1 To make the sourdough pesto you can either make this in a pestle and mortar or a food processor. Crush/chop all the ingredients, then stream in the olive oil until you reach the desired consistency.
2 Slice the onions into half-moons and slowly cook down with the vinegar, salt and pepper until they are translucent and slightly sticky.
3 Dice the new potatoes, drizzle
with olive oil add in the garlic cloves then season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven at 180˚C for 20-25mins.
4 In a bowl whisk the eggs, add in the chopped fresh herbs, cooked onions, potatoes & peas, season well with salt and pepper.
5 Gently heat your frying pan with 2tbsp of olive oil then add in your egg mixture. Cook this on a low heat until it sets around the edges and little bubbles start appearing on top (around 20mins).
6 Drop teaspoons of your ricotta
over the top of your cooking frittata then place under a low grill to
finish cooking it. It should puff up a little and start to colour, if you
want to check its cooked through
you can pierce it with a knife to make sure it is no longer liquid inside.
7 Serve as suggested in the photograph.
(If you have left over pesto the breadcrumbs will continue to soak up the olive oil so you may need to add more in when using it up.)
