Monday comes around again! I do hope you enjoyed your weekend, we had a wonderfully relaxed one … possibly helped by glorious sunshine and lovely temperatures on Saturday. It really was picnic weather and the grandchildren had a wonderful time tucking into a picnic tea! Isn't it amazing how food can taste so much nicer outdoors … Sunday was dry but more cloudy, and I kept up the relaxed theme by taking some time out to read a book, well not a whole book but a good few pages.
But back to today (Monday) and I thought, why not invite Gino D' Acampo into the kitchen!!! Gino is an Italian celebrity chef and media personality based in the United Kingdom, best known for his food-focused television shows and cookbooks. This recipe really can be enjoyed any-time of the day and is so quick and easy. A lovely pea, mint and cheddar frittata which fits so well into my LCHF menu plans, and is suitable for vegetarians. I hope you may give it a try and enjoy a little bit of Italian inspired cooking in your kitchen soon.
Ingredients:
Serves One
1 tbsp. olive oil15g/½oz butter
½ onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, chopped
