Prawn and Chorizo Frittata

I love frittata, which is lucky really since I think it's a great way of using up surplus eggs. I also love that it's a really quick meal to put together when you are tired or just can't be bothered.

I found this recipe on BBC Good Food last week and was so very pleased with it. It was really tasty and very satisfying, I can see me making this one again and again. My frittata's come out a bit thinner than I'd like because I don't really have the appropriate pan at the moment. Good excuse for a shopping trip, no?

Prawn and Chorizo Frittata

Ingredients

1/2 onion, finely chopped
50g chorizo, sliced
2 tsp olive oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp milk
85g cooked, peeled prawns
100g frozen peas, defrosted

Method

Heat the grill to medium. For the frittata you need a 20cm frying pan - one with a metal handle is best as it will be going under the grill however if you do use one with a plastic handle, just make sure you leave the handle sticking out!

Fry the onion and chorizo in the oil over a low heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pan from the heat. Pour out any excess fat from the chorizo and stir in the beaten eggs and milk with a little seasoning. Stir in the prawns and defrosted peas and return the pan to a low heat for around 10 minutes, until all but the very top of the frittata is set.

Pop the pan under the grill until the frittata is golden.

I dished this up with some hot new potatoes and some leafy greens! Delish!
