[Recipe] Zucchini frittata with arugula

YOU WILL NEED:

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion
2 cloves garlic
1 medium zucchini, halved and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons thyme
8 eggs (free range and organic if possible)
1 ounce arugula (rocket)

WHAT TO DO:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Put 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and a pinch of salt and soften for about 5-7 minutes.

Add zucchini and thyme, mix together and cook an additional 3 minutes. Take off the heat, place in bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Whisk the eggs together and add in the zucchini mix.

Heat remaining oil in a 10-inch sauté pan on medium heat, place in the egg mix and cook on the stove until edges start to solidify and place in oven until the frittata is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

Slip onto cutting board, cut into serving wedges (4-8) place on top of arugula and serve!

Remember to shop local, seasonal and organic where possible, or even grow your own herbs and vegetables at home! This is a super easy way to ensure that you have quality, healthy produce, and also reduce your carbon footprint.
