Some of my favorite dishes are the really simple ones. Quality of ingredients like the eggs is key though and you’ll taste the difference once you started. Like most of my dishes this recipe can easily be played with. Exchange the veg with whatever veg you have to use up, add whichever herbs you like and add some flavor boosters like feta cheese or a bit of smoked salmon or Parma ham if you’re not on a vegetarian diet. Be brave!
For today’s version of frittata I served myself from veggie leftovers of the fridge and our new herb garden on the balcony. Oh my! The joys of fresh herbs are just indescribable for me! Really try to include more of them in your daily diet, they not only tickle your taste buds but are also have tons of health benefits. Nice side effect of this dish is also that it gives you a good chunk of your daily needed protein which is too often neglected on a mainly plant based diet.
What you need
(Serves 2)
4 eggs, preferably organic
2 handful of veggies: I used 2 small zucchinis, some mushrooms and leftovers of green asparagus
A splash of milk (I used coconut)
1 clove of garlic
Lots of fresh coriander and basil
Some coconut oil
Himalayan salt
Pepper (get yourself a proper pepper mill and a nice mix of proper corns, so worth it!)
What to do
Heat up a medium sized pan (non stick) with a table spoon of coconut oil (remember better not to use olive oil when it’s heated). Slowly fry the chopped up veg for a bit until they get nicely caramelised (light brown, that boosts the flavors). In the meantime beat the eggs with milk of your choice, salt and pepper. Pour it over your veggie mix. Put on a lid. Now let it sit for about 10min (can depend on job and pan, try to move it carefully. When it seems solid in the bottom it’s time). Take of the lid and put a dish on top of the pan. Flip carefully. Now repeat the other side for 10 more min.
Enjoy with a nice salad. I made a yummy quick tomato avocado salad with fresh basil, olive oil, salt and lemon juice. Enjoy as a light lunch or dinner! And if you’re lucky and have leftovers it’s also great for a take away snack.
