An easy process and look at how good the goods look! Pretty good!
Story:
I’m staying with mum at the minute so together we have been concocting various projects. The highest mountain we’ve had to climb so far (our Everest) has been to build a flatpack butcher’s block with mum’s “lady tradie” bag. We decided we still loved one another, decided we need to pitch an american sitcom about living together and laughed our proverbial asses off. Two days later it was mother’s day. After significant ontological discussion and some fiery debate we landed on a mother’s day vision that included roast chicken, snags, BBQ’ed corn, marinated steaks, iceberg lettuce salad and a frittata. Pictures to follow .. and the frittata recipe!
Ingredients:
- 6 baby potatoes sliced medium
- 2 tspns crushed garlic
- 1 large prig fresh oregano
- 1 large onion chopped into slices
- 2 tbspns raw sugar
- .5 kg ricotta
- 100 gms parmesan
- 6 beaten eggs and a splash of milk
- 1 medium zucchini sliced thinly lengthways
- Fresh torn basil leaves
- 2 slices state white bread, cut into small (around 1.5 cm squares
- Olive oil
Method:
- Place baking paper in a large dish and coat with oil or butter
- Saute potatoes, garlic and oregano, remove oregano and set aside
- Using the same saucepan, saute onions then simmer low, adding sugar until caramelised then set aside
- Set oven to 180 degrees celcius
- Mix ricotta, eggs, parmesan together
- Add the cooled caramelised onion and potato
- Add basil and bread, then mix further (I use my hands when I mix and pretend I’m in a rustic Italian village – feel free to insert your own fantasy here)
- Pour into the lined dish, place zucchini strips on top and cook in the oven for 45 minutes (checking every 15 or so for progress)
- Bang on endlessly to your mum or other human about how good it looks
