Recipe: Salmon, pea and red onion frittata ....

At this busy time of year I love to have a few fail proof recipes to fall back on! Think unexpected visitors for lunch, long days in work or shopping in town and you still need to get food on the table in a hurry!
Eggs are usually top of the shopping list in my house and I'm rarely without them. Definitely got this from my mother who goes into major panic mode if there are no eggs about!!

This is a lovely recipe I adapted from my gorgeous Homes and Garden magazine which I look forward to buying at Christmas every year. Think of it as a posh version of an omelette and it really looks very impressive.

500g potatoes sliced and cubed

150g smoked salmon or 1 large salmon fillet

1 red onion diced

100g frozen peas

8 large eggs

salt and pepper

chives or parsley to garnish

Boil the potatoes for ten mins adding the frozen peas for the last five. In a large bowl mix the eggs lightly. Season with salt and pepper then add the salmon strips if using the smoked variety. I roasted a large salmon fillet in the oven first then shredded it as I prefer the flavour. Heat large pan or skillet with a little olive oil. Fry the onions for 3 mins till soft.

Add the cooked sliced potatoes and peas. Pour over the egg mixture and cook on a low heat for 5 mins until the mixture starts to bubble a bit. Transfer under the grill/broiler until golden and set. This takes about 5 mins.

Cut into large wedges to serve. I had six out of this one.

 This is perfect for an informal dinner served with a simple large green salad and selection of sides, or on its own as a substantial breakfast/brunch option. It can also be made in advance and heated when ready to eat.

The holidays can often be hugely stressful for a lot of people and over the years I have learned that pure perfection is unattainable. Simple and easy is the only way to go in my book!

Hope you all have a lovely day:)
