Spanish Chorizo, Potato and Pepper Frittata

Makes 2-4 

Ingredients

Assemble all the ingredients and equipment you will need to make Spanish Chorizo, Potato and Pepper Frittata. Do you recognise all the ingredients and equipment? If not, ask an adult to explain them to you. Make sure you wash your hands and wear a clean apron.

Method                                 

 1.      Peel and dice the potatoes, place in a saucepan of water and bring to the boil on a medium heat.  Set your timer for 15 minutes.

2.       Take the eggs and crack them into a bowl and whisk them up.  Wash the mixed herbs and chop them up.  Add to the egg mixture along with salt and pepper for seasoning, then set aside.

3.      Peel and dice the onion.  Clean the peppers by removing the seeds and stalk, then dice them up.  Peel and chop the garlic cloves. At this point check the potatoes and if they are soft in texture, take from the heat and drain any excess water and set aside.

4.      Heat the oil in a frying pan.  Add the diced onion, garlic, peppers, chorizo and potatoes and cook for 5 minutes.

5.      Pour in the egg mixture over the vegetables and stir gently.  Push the mixture into the centre of the pan as it cooks to allow the egg to run onto the base.

6.      Add any other optional extras to the pan and mix well. Top with the grated cheese. Turn on the grill to a medium heat.

7.      Once the egg mixture is lightly set, place the pan under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. 

 8.       Serve hot or cold, cut into wedges, and garnish with fresh parsley. 

 Everyone should help with the clearing up and tidying away.  This part is just as important as the cooking and can be as much fun!   Never serve piping hot food straight from the oven or grill.  Always allow it to cool slightly first.
