Description

A super-easy, flavor-packed Chorizo Frittata that’s perfect for using up leftovers and smashing out brunch or dinner with very little fuss.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp rapeseed oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 200g/7oz chorizo, chopped
  • 6 free-range eggs
  • 50ml/2fl oz milk (any kind)
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 200g/7oz cooked potatoes, roughly chopped
  • 100g/3½oz frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Green salad, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven grill to high.
  2. Heat the oil in an oven-safe frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the onion and red pepper and cook until softened.
  4. Stir in the chopped chorizo and cook for 2–3 minutes more.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add potatoes and peas to the pan and mix gently.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and tilt it to spread evenly.
  8. Cook over low heat for 5–7 minutes until the edges set.
  9. Place under the grill for 3–5 minutes or until the top is golden and puffed.
  10. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with green salad if desired.

Notes

Great for using leftover cooked potatoes. No need to defrost the peas – they go straight in frozen.
