SWEET CORN FRITTATA WITH CHERRY TOMATO COMPOTE



Sweet Corn Frittata With Cherry Tomato Compote image

There's no better way to use up everything in your fridge than a frittata. I love this version because it celebrates two of my favorite summertime treats: sweet corn and tomatoes. The corn adds the perfect texture while the jam-like tomato compote adds a wonderful sweetness.

Categories     HarperCollins     Summer     Frittata     Egg     Corn     Tomato     Tree Nut Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetarian     Dinner     Lunch     Breakfast     Brunch

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the tomato compote:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups cherry tomatoes (any variety will work)
¼ cup dry white wine
8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
Healthy pinch of fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For the frittata:
2 tablespoons cooking fat
1 bunch of scallions, white parts and green parts diced separately
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium potato, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch chunks
2 cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Make the compote:
  • Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine and cook until the wine is reduced by about half. Add the basil, salt, and pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and become fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside the tomatoes in a bowl.
  • Make the frittata:
  • Position an oven rack about 3 inches from the top and preheat the broiler.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking fat. Add the diced white part of the scallions and the minced garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potato softens, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook for about 2 minutes longer.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, red pepper flakes, and half the feta cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the veggie mixture in the skillet and top with the remainder of the cheese. Stir in the potato mixture and the scallion greens.
  • Wipe out the skillet and, over medium-high, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking fat. Cook the frittata, lifting up the cooked egg around the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, giving the pan a shake now and again, until the eggs are mostly set but the center is still slightly jiggly, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Transfer the frittata to the oven and broil until the top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes (keep a close eye on the frittata, as it can easily burn). Serve topped with the tomato compote.

SLOW-COOKER TOMATO COMPOTE



Slow-Cooker Tomato Compote image

This savory compote - a typically sweet, slow-simmered fruit preserve - is a delicious way to eat cherry tomatoes, especially those that are on the verge of being too soft. But it's also a great way to intensify the flavor of middling supermarket cherry tomatoes in the winter. Either way, the sweet-tart tomatoes can build super-quick meals: Put them on top of ricotta or avocado toast, or squish them into a grilled cheese. Toss them with hot or cold pasta. Use the oil and juices in salad dressings and the tomatoes in the salad itself. The compote can be used right away, but it's best the next day and will keep in the fridge for at least a week. Feel free to throw in any hardy, woody herbs you like, but don't add very delicate herbs like basil, chives or dill before cooking. You can add a handful of those softer herbs before serving, if you like.

Categories     vegetables

Time 6h10m

Yield About 3 ½ cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds cherry or grape tomatoes (about 4 pints)
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 bushy sprigs fresh herbs, such as rosemary, tarragon, thyme, sage, parsley or a mix
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
Juice of 1/4 lemon (about 2 teaspoons)

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, add the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, honey, vinegar, herbs and red-pepper flakes (if using), and stir to combine. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours, until the tomatoes are wrinkled, sweet and very soft, and some have burst. Remove the herb sprigs and squeeze in the lemon juice. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure the best flavor in your compote.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil leaves will give your compote a bright, herbaceous flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Cook them just until they are soft and starting to break down, but not mushy.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of your tomatoes. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Let the compote cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Tomato basil compote is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for topping grilled chicken or fish, or as a spread for sandwiches or crackers. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for fruit or vegetables. No matter how you choose to use it, tomato basil compote is sure to add a burst of flavor to your meals.
