HERB-AND-OLIVE FRITTATA



Herb-and-Olive Frittata image

In this recipe, herbs are the focus, but to use herbs on a grand scale, it helps to know which ones work in that role and which ones don't. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it.) I put most other herbs - epazote, lavender, marjoram and oregano, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme - in the category of strong herbs, which must be used more sparingly than mild herbs. You usually don't want to use more than a tablespoon or so of strong herbs in a dish. This frittata uses generous amounts of both parsley and basil and lesser amounts of dill, mint, rosemary or thyme.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped black olives, preferably oil-cured
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
8 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the olives and herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk, flour and some salt and pepper.
  • Turn heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, using a spoon if necessary to evenly distribute the herbs and olives. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs are just set, 5 to 10 minutes. (You can set the top further by putting the pan in an oven at 350 for a few minutes or by running it under the broiler for a minute or two.) Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

HERB FRITTATA



Herb Frittata image

This is one of the real classics of this region's cuisine (Friuli-Venezia Giulia).You will find it wherever you travel, especially in the springtime when wild herbs sprout in fragrant profusion all over La Terra Fortunata. The key here is to use as large a variety of herbs, grasses and greens as you can locate. It is traditional that there be at least five different types. Among the most famous are silene, hops, melissa, mint, verbena, basil, marjoram, sage, parsley, spinach (just a little), fennel leaves, Swiss chard, zucchini (courgette) flowers, wild fennel, beet greens, chervil, sorrel and celery leaves. This frittata is served piping hot, tepid or cool. As always, it should be covered if allowed to cool and cut into wedges before serving.

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if needed
2 tablespoons minced chives or onions
1 1/2 cups fresh herbs and greens, all carefully cleaned and dried, then torn into small pieces
12 large eggs
6 tablespoons whole or low-fat milk
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated aged or semi-aged montasio cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Thoroughly butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch nonstick skillet. If 2 tablespoons are not sufficient, use more butter. Place the pan over low heat; when the butter becomes warm, add chives or onions. Heat gently, just until they give off a little fragrance. Add the herbs and greens and, if necessary, a little more butter. Stir so that all the flavors mingle.
  • While the greens are heating, beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese and a little pepper into a large bowl. Add the egg mixture to the greens and stir with a fork, taking care to avoid scraping the fork along the bottom of the pan. While working with the fork in 1 hand, shake the pan continuously to prevent the frittata from sticking.
  • Once the frittata has a rather firm skin on the bottom, slide it out of the pan and onto a plate. Invert the frittata back into the pan so that the less-cooked side of the frittata is now face-down in the pan. Return to the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan continuously to prevent sticking. The frittata is done when the bottom is firm and light chestnut-brown.
  • Slide the frittata onto a dish for serving. If you plan to cool the frittata, cover it with a clean cloth or paper towels. Cut into wedges before serving.
  • Variations:
  • To make a baked omelet, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare the greens as above and transfer to a buttered 8-inch baking dish. Beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese, and pepper in a large bowl and pour over the greens. Bake for 15 minutes, unmold onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.
  • Although usually served plain, you can drape a paper-thin slice of prosciutto di San Daniele over the frittata before serving.

SUMMER FRITTATA WITH FRESH HERBS

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 garlic cloves, halved
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch dice
8 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon snipped chives
1 teaspoon finely chopped tarragon
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Saute garlic in olive oil over moderate heat in a small saucepan until soft and golden, 7 minutes; discard the garlic. In a heat resistant dish or pie pan, toss diced bread with 1 tablespoon of garlic oil. Bake for 6 minutes, or until crisp. Leave the oven on.
  • Whisk eggs with Parmesan, cream, chives and tarragon in a medium sized bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the garlic oil.
  • In a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining garlic oil until shimmering. If using a cast iron pan, make sure it is coated well with oil.
  • Whisk the eggs again and add to skillet. Cook without stirring for 1 minute, until just set around the edge. Lift the edges of the fritatta with a spatula and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg can seep underneath. Continue until the eggs are mostly set, 3 minutes.
  • Spoon the ricotta in small dollops over the frittata; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the croutons.
  • Bake for 4 minutes, until fluffy and set. Slide onto a large plate, cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Make sure there is enough room for the eggs to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium-low heat: This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Flip the frittata carefully: Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges of the frittata and then flip it over.
  • Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata is done when the eggs are set and the center is no longer runny.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature: The frittata can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

A stovetop frittata is a quick and easy meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, cheese, and herbs. Frittatas can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great option for picnics and potlucks.
