I found this chorizo frittata recipe on the BBC Food website after doing a Google search.   We had a pack of cooking chorizo in the fridge almost out of date, a full box of eggs and plenty of potatoes along with all of the other ingredients, so it was the perfect recipe to try.  

Chorizo is one of our favourite Spanish ingredients and it's delicious in this Spanish omelette.

It's a great dish to share and enjoy hot or cold for brunch, a midweek meal, lunch or to serve at a buffet or picnic.

Tip

  • The ingredients for this chorizo frittata recipe can easily be reduced if you're cooking for less people...just use a smaller ovenproof frying pan.

How to make this Chorizo Frittata

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 200g cooking chorizo, skin removed and roughly chopped
  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • 50ml semi-skimmed milk
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 200g cooked potatoes, roughly chopped
  • 100g frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • green salad, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan on the hob until just hot, then add the oil, onion and red pepper and fry for 2 minutes, until just softened. Turn the heat up, add the chorizo and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it has released its oil and is crisp around the edges. The mixture will go a lovely red colour.
  2. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a large jug and whisk with the milk, a pinch of salt and plenty of black pepper.
  3. Add the garlic and potatoes to the chorizo mixture and fry for another 2 minutes, stirring gently, until just hot through. Add the peas and cook for another minute, until the whole mixture is hot.
  4. Pour in the egg, stir briefly, turn down to a medium heat and scatter the parsley over the top. Fry without stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, then carefully lift the edge of the frittata with a spatula to check if it is cooked and golden-brown underneath. If it isn’t, cook for another minute then check again.
  5. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. When the top is bubbled up and slightly golden use a tea towel to grab the handle and give the pan a gentle shake. If the middle wobbles it needs a little longer. If it’s fairly firm, put it aside to cool slightly.
  6. Slide the frittata out of the pan onto a plate. You can serve this hot or cold but make sure to let it cool to room temperature before storing it in a sealable container in the fridge. Cut it into slices and serve with a green salad.
