NOTES:
This frittata is easy, gluten free, vegetarian and nourishing.
Enjoy warm or cold. It's packed with protein, fats, fibre and vitamins & minerals.
Enjoy on it's own, or add a side of lentils, salad, veg or other proteins of choice
Use a mix of greens - rocket adds great flavour
I make 2 frittatas - ready to eat over the next few days or freeze a couple of portions.
Here's the ingredients for one frittata in a 9 inch square baking dish
1.5 cups cubed baked pumpkin
1 onion - chopped roughly
170 g (6oz) feta cheese (ethically raised)
2-3 cloves garlic
1 cup finely chopped greens: spinach/rocket
8-10 eggs (pasture-raised)
1 teaspoon turmeric
pinch nutmeg
black pepper
mixed herbs such as basil and thyme - dried or fresh.
pasture-raised/grass fed grated cheese (optional) for the top
Add a little salt to taste, bearing in mind that the feta is salty.
What to do
preheat oven
chop the pumpkin (squash) and place on a baking sheet
chop and bake the onion and place on the baking sheet-drizzle some avocado or olive oil
place the pumpkin & onion in moderate oven for around 30 mins - check the onion after 15-20 mins
finely chop the spinach & rocket and any fresh herbs you're using
crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the spices and lightly beat
chop the feta into small cubes
line your baking dish with eco-friendly baking paper
place all the ingredients into the dish and bake in a moderate oven for around 30-40 mins
Leave your delicious frittata to stand for 5-10 mins whilst you prep other foods and get organised for dinner.
TIP: Cut it up and pop a piece in a to-go container ready to take when you leave the house the next day. Or for dinner the next night.
TIP: A mango, avocado and mint side salad will add enzymes to the meal, for breaking down the fats and carbs.
ENJOY.
