Farm Basket Frittata
Poke around at the farmers market, buy the vegetables that appeal to you, and turn it into a frittata. So what’s a frittata?
Frittata is an open faced Italian-style omelette finished under the broiler, then cut and served in wedges. It makes a great, quick dinner. The veggies in this recipe are only suggestions, feel free to mix and match here.
Serves Four People
Preheat Broiler to High
1 clove Garlic, peeled and lightly crushed with the side of a knife
1 large Onion, peeled, sliced and separated into rings
4 Red and Green Peppers, seeded and diced
1 large Potato, cooked and diced (leftover potato is just fine)
2 Tb Rolling Hills Farm Garlic Vinegar
8 Farm Fresh Eggs
Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste
In a non-stick frying pan, heat oil gently with the garlic clove. When the garlic is golden brown remove it from the pan, mince, and reserve. Add the onion, and after 5 minutes add the peppers. Mix and cook over moderate heat for a 10 minutes, then slip in the potatoes. After mixing and seasoning well with salt and pepper, cover the pan and let it simmer over a low flame 10 -15 minutes, until the onions are soft and sweet. Uncover the pan, pour in the vinegar, increase the heat and let it cook until the liquid is reduced.
Beat the eggs in a bowl with the garlic and a little salt and pepper. Pour them over the vegetables, mix well, and let the omelette cook gently without touching it. When it is well set on the bottom put the pan under the broiler until the top of the frittata turns golden brown. Cut the frittata like a pie, and serve with a big fresh kale salad and crusty bread.
