Sluttishly Vegetarian: Pea and Onion Frittata

We are busy people. Sometimes it's just not feasible to conjure up an exotic, elaborate lunch every day of the week.

The great thing about a frittata is that it's quick, simple, easy ... and usually can be cobbled together from things you already have in your fridge. As you'll see from my photo, I was so low on supplies that I didn't even have any salad in - good job this little gem contains a few veggies, eh?

Enjoy!

You'll need:

• One large onion
• Handful of peas (fresh or frozen)
• Three fresh eggs at room temperature
• Half a red pepper
• Four or five mint leaves
• Grated Parmesan cheese to taste (i.e. lots!) *if you're a strict veggie then there are alternative renet-free cheeses that are very similar to Parmesan
• One clove of garlic
• Pinch of paprika
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil for frying
• Small frying pan

Make it:

• Finely chop the garlic and roughly chop the onion. Fry in little oil until translucent and soft.
• Chop the pepper into chunks and add to the frying pan.
• Add the peas and stir.
• Bruise the mint and add to the pan along with the paprika and blend loosely.
• Beat the eggs well and season generously.
• Add the eggs to the pan, pouring evenly to cover all the ingredients.
• Sprinkle liberally with the cheese and pop under the grill for approximately 5-8 minutes or until really golden, bubbling and smelling gorgeous!
