GRAIN FRITTATA WITH CHILE, LIME AND FRESH HERBS



Grain Frittata With Chile, Lime and Fresh Herbs image

You may think of frittatas as leftovers' idea of heaven, but is it yours? For a frittata to look forward to, throw in leftover grains: The result is something like a Spanish tortilla, pleasingly dense, but with more bounce. Add an acid, like lime, and umami, like fish sauce, which melts into an underlying savoriness when warmed. Whatever you do, don't turn on the oven for this. Instead, stir the frittata on the stove and all but the top will set - nothing a few minutes covered can't fix (no precarious flip!). Finally, put a salad on top. The herby one here adds pep to the substantial frittata, as does a final squeeze of lime.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 cup cooked farro (or wheat berries, barley, spelt or rice)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, coarsely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 Thai bird chile or 1/2 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1/2 cup loosely packed dill, cilantro and-or mint leaves
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup water until bubbles form, then whisk in the fish sauce until combined. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the farro.
  • In an 8- or 9-inch nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and chile, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour in the egg-grain mixture. Using the rubber spatula, stir the eggs to mix in the shallot and chile. Let sit undisturbed until the edges of the eggs start to bubble and cook, just a minute. Then run your spatula across the bottom of the pan to pull the eggs from the edges to the center. Create holes in the center of the frittata as well, tilting the pan as needed so wet egg runs into the empty space created by your spatula. Continue pulling and agitating the eggs until the surface is wet but mostly set when you tilt the pan, about 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of your pan.
  • Smooth the top of the frittata, then cover with a lid or foil and let cook until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the herbs and scallions in a small bowl, then squeeze in enough lime to lightly moisten (about 1 tablespoon or 1/4 lime). Toss with your fingers to combine.
  • Once the frittata is cooked, loosen the sides with your rubber spatula and slide onto a serving platter. Top with herbs and scallions and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.

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.

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick, main course

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.

EASY STOVETOP FRITTATA WITH FRESH HERBS



Easy Stovetop Frittata with Fresh Herbs image

A simple but satisfying dish made with eggs, fresh herbs and ricotta

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Light lunch

Time 25m

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion, minced
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
2 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
6 large organic eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup ricotta, full fat (I like the Calabro brand)
¾ -1 cup fresh herbs, like parsley, dill, mint, basil, chopped
--- sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 TBSP. butter

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the onion and green onions and cook them gently until they are soft and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the ricotta. Whisk again until well incorporated with the eggs. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper and add the fresh herbs and the reserved cooked onions.
  • Set the same pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter melts, pour the egg mixture into the pan. When the mixture starts to set, with the help of a spatula, ease it away from the sides of the pan. Let the frittata cook gently until it is almost set. At this point it should be still a little wet on top.
  • Turn off the heat. Place a large plate on top of the pan. Invert the frittata upside down onto the plate and slide it back into the pan. The heat of the pan will only need 30 seconds or so to finish cooking the top of the frittata.
  • Slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool down slightly, cut into wedges or smaller slices and serve.

FRESH HERB FRITTATA



Fresh Herb Frittata image

Provided by Fred Plotkin

Categories     Cheese     Egg     Herb     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Vegetarian     Summer

Yield Makes 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons/30 g unsalted butter, or more if needed
2 tablespoons/30 g minced chives or onions
1 1/2 cups/400 g fresh herbs and greens, all carefully cleaned and dried, then torn into small pieces
12 large eggs
6 tablespoons/100 ml whole or low-fat milk
1 tablespoon/15 g unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons/30 grams grated aged or semi-aged Montasio cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Thoroughly butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch/20-cm nonstick skillet. If 2 tablespoons/30 g are not sufficient, use more butter. Place the pan over low heat; when the butter becomes warm, add the 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 one 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°F/150 °C. Prepare the greens as above and transfer to a buttered 8-inch/20-cm 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.
  • Wine: Many wines seem to go well with this preparation, including Collio Bianco, Tocai, Sauvignon Blanc, dry Verduzzo, and dry Prosecco

Provided by NcMysteryShopper

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:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the frittata. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Cook the Grains Ahead of Time: You can cook the grains up to 3 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're assembling the frittata.
  • Don't Overcook the Eggs: The eggs should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center. This will give the frittata a tender and creamy texture.
  • Let the Frittata Cool Slightly: Before you slice and serve the frittata, let it cool for a few minutes. This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

The Grain Frittata with Chile-Lime and Fresh Herbs is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with protein, fiber, and vegetables, and it's also gluten-free and vegetarian. With its bold flavors and beautiful presentation, this frittata is sure to impress your friends and family.
