Allessios Frittata Tomatoes And Sweet Peppers Recipes

ALLESSIO'S FRITTATA - TOMATOES AND SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4 minutes or until the onions are transparent. Add the sweet and hot pepper, and the tomatoes; cook for 2 to 3 minutes and let cool in the pan.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat in the cheese and salt. Add the cooled sautéed onions to the egg mixture and stir well. Wipe out the frying pan with a paper towel and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Heat the oil and then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cover and cook for 5 or 6 minutes. When the liquid is set and the frittata moves easily in the pan, put a large plate over the pan and flip the frittata out onto the plate. Add another teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and carefully slip the frittata back in to cook the other side. Cover and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
• If cooking in the oven, preheat to 325, dont cover and just place in oven for approx 20 min or desired doneness. I put extra parmesan over the top for the last 5 minutes.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving platter; slice into wedges and serve immediately.

FRITTATA WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper, yellow pepper, and onions, season with salt, and pepper and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, and oregano until light and fluffy, and then season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir with a rubber spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set up on top. Place the pan into the oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Remove from pan and sprinkle the top with parsley. Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board and cut into wedges and top with some of the roasted cherry tomato sauce and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Sauce:
• To a saute pan add the olive oil. Add the tomatoes and garlic paste over medium heat. Cook until the tomatoes are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes and the tomatoes burst. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil.

FRITTATA OF SWEET POTATOES, SWISS CHARD, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Char the peppers on an open fire or under the broiler. Steam them for five minutes in a bag or covered bowl, and peel. Seed them, then cut into 1/4-inch strips.
• Prepare Swiss Chard: Both the leaves and the stems of Swiss chard are edible. When preparing the chard for this recipe, remove the stems from the leaves. Slice the stems into ¼-inch pieces and blanch separately from the leaves. The leaves may be cut into spoon-size pieces.
• Bake potatoes in the oven until they are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Allow them to cool at room temperature. When the potatoes have cooled, peel them and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
• Beat eggs and egg whites and season with salt and black pepper.
• Heat half the oil in a large, 10-inch sauté pan. Add the onions and sauté until brown. Season onions with salt and pepper and allow them to cool.
• Return sauté pan to stove on medium heat, and add the remaining olive oil. Add a layer of potatoes, followed by 1/3 of the onions, peppers, prepared Swiss chard and parsley.
• Pour a third of the egg mixture over the vegetables. Repeat until all of the ingredients are in the pan. You may need to push the layers of the frittata down gently so that all of the ingredients are covered by the egg mixture.
• Place the pan in a 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the eggs are all set and the top is golden brown.
• Slide onto a warm serving platter and let cool for five minutes. Slice and serve.
• Prep includes prep and stove top time. Cooking time is baking time.

FRITTATA WITH PEPPERS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut them, unpeeled, into thin slices. Drop the slices into cold water to prevent discoloration. Drain and dry on paper towels.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and add the potatoes. Cook over medium heat, shaking and tossing or stirring, about 4 minutes. Add the peppers and the onions. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, about 5 minutes.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs with the basil, add salt and pepper and beat in the cheese.
• Over high heat, add the olive oil and the egg mixture to the potatoes and cook, stirring gently but firmly with a plastic spatula, about 1 minute. Cover tightly and reduce to medium heat. Cook about 2 minutes. Run a spatula or knife around the outside of the frittata. Invert a large round plate over the skillet and invert the skillet and plate quickly, letting the frittata fall into the plate. It should be golden brown on top. Serve immediately.
