Ingredients

  • 1 red onion peeled and finely diced
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen peas defrosted
  • 1 cup frozen broad beans defrosted and skinned
  • 6 eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsps fresh sage finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup Pamesan grated

Instructions

  • Peel and finely dice the red onion. Add the olive oil to the pan and fry on low for about 5 mins until the onion is softened.
  • Peel the broad beans and combine with the defrosted peas and fresh sage
  • Beat the eggs and add half the Parmesan to the mixture.
  • Combine the broad bean and egg mixes and season.
  • Pour the egg mix into the pan with the red onion.
  • Cook on a medium heat for 5 mins until it starts to set. Then add the aspargus spears, pressing them down into the frittata.
  • Cook for another 10 minutes or until almost completely set. Sprinkle over the remaining asparagus, then transfer to under the grill and cook on low for about 5 mins until the top is set and slightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and check if the frittata is set by gently pressing the top. If it's still not set, replace in the oven for a few more minutes if necessary.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the frittata. Then take a spatula and slide under the frittata and slide out onto a board.
  • Cut into quarters and serve with rocket lightly dressed in olive oil.
