May 2017 — Asparagus and new potato frittata

An east side plot holder offers a tasty treat using some special spring vegetables. Asparagus is now grown widely at Warriston. Plant next spring if you'd like to add it to your plot.


Ingredients

  • 200g new potatoes
  • 100g asparagus
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 6 eggs
  • 40g cheddar

​
Method

1. Heat the grill to high. Put the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cook 5 mins or until nearly tender, then add the asparagus for a final 1 min. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and add the onion. Cook gently for about 8 mins until softened.

3. Mix the eggs with half the cheese in a jug and season well. Pour over the onion in the pan, then scatter over the asparagus and potatoes. Top with the remaining cheese and put under the grill for 5 mins or until golden and cooked through.
​
​4. Cut into wedges and serve.
