Ingredients
500g Essential Charlotte Potatoes (or leftover boiled potatoes)
4 tbsp Essential Olive Oil
1 tbsp Essential Butter
1 clove/s garlic, bashed
500g pack frozen Essential Grilled Vegetable Mix
6 Essential Free Range White Eggs
125g Essential Ricotta
4 tbsp grated Galbani Pecorino Romano
25g pack basil
Method
Boil the potatoes in salted water for
15-20 minutes, until tender. Drain and allow
to steam dry for a few minutes, then slice
into coins. If using leftover boiled potatoes,
slice and go straight to next step.
Warm 2 tbsp oil and the butter in a frying
pan, add the garlic and sliced potatoes and
fry for 7 minutes on each side, until golden.
Lift out the garlic clove.
While the potatoes fry, make the frittata.
Preheat the grill to high. Heat the remaining
2 tbsp oil in another medium-sized frying pan
(approx 20cm across the base, 25cm at the
top). Tip in the frozen vegetables and fry for
15 minutes, until any excess water has
evaporated and the vegetables are tender
and piping hot. Crack the eggs into a jug
and beat well with 1/3 of the ricotta, 1 tbsp
pecorino, most of the basil (roughly chopped)
and seasoning.
Pour the eggs into the pan and swirl around
the vegetables. Dot the remaining ricotta
over the top and sprinkle with the remaining
pecorino. Cook over a low heat for about
5 minutes, before finishing under the grill for a
further 5 minutes, or until golden and pulling
away from the sides of the pan. Cool in the pan
for 5 minutes then scatter over the remaining
basil leaves and slice. Serve with the potatoes.
Cook’s tip
Leftover ricotta is never an issue with the right inspiration – fluffy pancake batters, puff pastry tarts, or the layers of a lasagne can all benefit from its creamy, light texture. Search ricotta at waitrose.com/recipes for ideas for every season.
