tagAlt.Tuscan Country style Frittata

As with all traditional Tuscan recipes, this dish is simple, using the most basic of ingredients. While of course it can be adapted using your own choice of fillings, it is important to realise that Italians don't believe in having too many different flavours. The secret is to bring out the full flavours of the few ingredients you do use.

Another secret in your arsenal is your soffritto, a mix of diced celery, onion and carrot that adds excellent flavor depth and aroma to any dish, not just slow-cooked ones.  We love it here, and its ability to adapt a dish to any palate.  As you prepare this quick recipe for your loved ones, you might want to make just a wee bit more to truly fill up on eggy goodness!

One of my all-time favs!

Eggs are a fundamental part of my diet - such an easy ingredient to work with and make work with my specific veggie diet. A frittata is the best way to get a good meal in since its quick, healthy and nutritious too - nothing not to love here. Throw in some extra vegetables hanging about the fridge and watch the magic happen. As the recipe says, the trick is to valorise a few ingredients, and this is the best way to make those old veggie flavours pop!
