[ RECIPE ] Sweet Potato & Green Bean Frittata

19/04/2016 by Adam

frittata

I know I know, it’s been too long since I’ve produced and shared with you a vegetarian recipe.

Once upon a time all I knew was the whole ‘meat and two veg’ thing, yet it can be even more enjoyable (and filling!) to cook a vegetarian dish.

This Sweet Potato & Green Bean Frittata is just that and I’m confident you’ll love it just as much as I did when I tucked in to it for last night’s dinner.

A frittata is an egg-based Italian dish, very similar to an omelette except it’s much thicker so often requires more eggs. It’s more like a quiche or pie and is best served in the pan at the table.

In this dish the combination of the sweet potatoes and red onion gives the eggs a real sweetness about them, not forgetting the cherry tomatoes of course!

You can always vary the veggies if you like, even throw in the leftovers you have, or need to get rid of, before they expire.

So I hope you like this delicious & very healthy recipe. As always let me know your thoughts.
