Background
If you have some leftover chicken meat from your Sunday roast, this dish can be the ideal way to use it up! This chicken and chorizo frittata has a Spanish influence, it's super easy to make, and you can use other vegetables too, if you like - spinach, courgette, peas, green beans would work too. You can serve it with crusty bread as a meal, or cut it up into bite-sized pieces and serve as tapas.
Ingredients
- roast/grilled chicken leftovers, torn into chunks
- 5 cm cooking chorizo sausage
- 1 leek
- 1 bell pepper (red or yellow)
- 1 handful of cherry tomatoes
- 5 eggs
- basil leaves
Instructions
- Slice the chorizo, then put these in a heated pan. Fry at a low temperature to release the fat.
- Slice the leek and pepper, then add to the Chorizo. Sauté under cover for 5 minutes, then add the chicken and tomatoes to warm through.
- Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. When the tomatoes start releasing their juices and the vegetables are soft, pour over the eggs. Cover, then simmer over very low heat.
- When the top of the eggs is wobbly but no longer runny, turn it over (like a pancake) or brown the top under the grill in your oven.
- Slide it onto a plate. Sprinkle with basil leaves just before serving.
