'Spirafrizzata' – spiralizer frittata
by
Food Urchin puts a culinary symbol of low-carb obsessives to excellent use in his spiralizer frittata recipe, or 'Spirafrizzata'. Packed with spiralized spuds, courgette and onion, with generous hunks of mozzarella and salami, this dish is for those who are more concerned with big flavours than counting calories.
Ingredients
Spiralizer frittata
- 2 large potatoes , approximately 400g in weight, peeled
- 1 courgette
- 1 white onion , peeled
- 2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
- 8 free-range eggs
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 5 slices of pepperoni
- 100g of mozzarella cheese , torn into pieces
- salt
- pepper
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
Method
1
First, you need to have a merry old time spiralizing your vegetables. So whizz your potatoes, courgette and onion through whatever spiralizing contraption you can get your hands on. You could always use a julienne blade on a mandoline, but you won’t have half as much fun
2
After doing the potato ribbons, give them a quick soak in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. They will stick together when you come to cook them otherwise. Rinse, drain and dry in a colander or give the potatoes a spin in a salad spinner
3
Next, place a non-stick frying pan on the hob over a medium heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and warm up before adding the onion. Gently stir for about 5 minutes, before adding the chopped garlic. Fry for another 2 minutes
4
Scrape the onion and garlic out and place in a small bowl. Place the pan back on the hob, add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil then add the potato
5
Turn the heat up a touch and briskly stir-fry the potato ribbons so they begin to soften and colour. Once they do, add the courgette and stir to combine. This can be tricky, so it helps to employ a fork to mix the two together
6
After a couple of minutes, add the onion and garlic and again, stir through to combine, using a fork if necessary. Turn the heat down and leave to cook for another 2 minutes
7
Crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk together. Add the oregano and season with some salt and pepper before giving the eggs another good mix
8
Next preheat the grill in your oven to 200°C
9
Pour the eggs all over the softened vegetables, giving the pan a gentle shake to make sure you get a nice even distribution. Leave to cook through from the bottom upwards – this takes about 10 minutes
10
The top will still be a little bit runny after this time, so place the pan under to grill to firm up and finish cooking. Keep an eye on it though, as you don’t want it to brown too much
11
To finish, place your pepperoni on top and dot the spaces in between with mozzarella. Give it one last blast under the grill, until the meat crisps and the cheese bubbles up
12
When done, leave to cool in the pan until warm and then flip out onto a board. You may need to run a spatula around the edges. Serve with salad leaves and tomatoes. Or chips
