Caramelised Onion and Ricotta Frittata
Frittatas are a fantastic light food option for any time of the day, or a quick and satisfying meal on the hop. They are one of the most versatile dishes around as lots of different vegetables or herbs can be added, depending on your mood or the contents of your fridge. This frittata is something really special — aromatic and delicious from the first bite. You’ll need a large, non-stick, ovenproof frying pan; cast-iron is a good option. Enjoy the frittata fresh out of the oven or serve with a crunchy green leaf salad simply dressed with lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil.
