Chorizo + Goat's Cheese Fritatta

I was asked to make a frittata for my close friend’s baby shower, so I whipped this up and it was well received. The saltiness from the chorizo provides most of the seasoning, and the goat’s cheese and spinach both add a refined flavour to the dish.

Serves 4

Preparation Time: 10 minutes / Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  •  1 tbl olive oil
  • 1 tbl butter
  • 1 brown onion, peeled
  • 12 medium mushrooms, peeled and washed (150g)
  • 1 chorizo (160g)
  • 2 handfuls of baby spinach, washed (100g)
  •  80g goats cheese
  • 4 eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt

Method

  1. Chop the onion in half, and slice each half to form thick half-rings.
  2. Chop the mushrooms into small 1 cm cubes.
  3.  Cut off the ends of the chorizo, and score the skin 4 times down the length. Find a corner of skin in one section and gently peel down to remove. Repeat with 3 other sections so the entire skin has been removed.
  4.  Slice chorizo in half down the length, and thickly slice each half to get semi-circle pieces.
  5. Roughly chop the spinach.
  6.  Heat the oil and butter on medium-low, in a 25cm non-stick, high sided pan, or low pot.
  7. Add the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until it softens.
  8.  Add the mushrooms and sauté for a further 3-5 minutes until they soften.
  9. Add the chorizo and heat through for a minute.
  10. Add the spinach and stir through until it starts to wilt, and reduce heat to low.
  11. Break apart goat’s cheese with your fingers and place pieces over the top of the mix. DO NOT mix through.
  12. Pour the beaten egg over to cover the entire frittata, and swirl the pan around gently to ensure uniform egg coverage.
  13. Cover with a lid, and cook for 5-10 minutes until egg is firm and doesn’t wobble.
  14. Remove the lid, shut the heat and leave off the stove in the pan for 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving.

Cut the frittata into fours and gently remove with a spatula. It should not have stuck too much to the bottom if you used a good non-stick surface. You can serve by itself or with some bread or chips if desired.

Enjoy! GPW
