GREEN TOMATO FRITTATA



Green Tomato Frittata image

This is an adaptation of a recipe I came across in "The Savory Way," by Deborah Madison. The acidic green tomatoes are nicely balanced by the neutral flavor of the eggs.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, brunch, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound green tomatoes
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
Cornmeal for dredging
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil
1 tablespoon snipped chives
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Core the tomatoes and slice half of them about 1/3 inch thick. Set aside. Peel the remaining tomatoes by dropping them in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to a bowl of ice water. Cut in half, squeeze or scoop out the seeds, and chop fine.
  • Season the sliced tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper, and dredge lightly in the cornmeal. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy, nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the sliced tomatoes for two to three minutes on each side, just until lightly colored. Remove from the heat and set aside. If there is cornmeal in the pan, clean and dry the pan.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in the pan over medium heat, and add the chopped onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, three to five minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Stir together until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the chopped tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have softened and are beginning to stick to the pan, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the basil and chives.
  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs and milk together in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper (I use about 1/2 teaspoon salt). When the chopped tomatoes have cooked down, turn the heat up to medium-high and pour in the eggs. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, letting the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Distribute the fried sliced green tomatoes over the surface of the frittata. Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid and loosen the bottom with a spatula. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
  • Finish the frittata under the broiler for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn. Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking (it will slide around a bit in the nonstick pan) and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes, up to 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut in wedges and serve, or serve at room temperature.

Tomato and Leek Frittata (Sbd Phase 1) image

I've finally gotten a chance to make this so I want to revise my description and add some information. Delish! this is a relatively easy recipe that can be eaten for pretty much any meal of the day. It would make a lovely addition to a brunch buffet as well as a nice light supper with a salad. I've made this recipe using half egg beaters and half real eggs, and I've also substituted 1/3 C grated parmesan or locatelli instead of cheddar... either way it turns out terriffic

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes. Green tomatoes should be firm and have no blemishes. They should also be slightly tart, as this will help to balance out the richness of the other ingredients.
  • Slice the tomatoes thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the frittata from sticking.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Be patient. It will take about 25 minutes for the frittata to cook through.

Conclusion:

The green tomato and leek frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover green tomatoes, and it is also a good source of protein and vegetables. This frittata is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
