Frittata Del Jardin
- 2 peeled carrots
- 1 large yam
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almond meal
- 23 cup gluten-free flour
- Blend 2 carrots & 1 large or 2 small yams/sweet potatoes (yams are lower in sugar) on low speed or use food processor (vita mix:1-2) until only small shreds.
- Add in 2 cups spinach at very end just to break into smaller pieces, not mush!
- Scoop out mixture into bowl.
- Blend on low: 1 c almond meal and 2/3c gluten free flour or sift.
- Add in 2 eggs and teaspoon of water until well mixed to mixture, should be a little thicker than batter (gluten free flours vary in ingredients, so I always add water until it all sticks together).Scoop out into bowl with veggies, and mix with your hands to coat well, or use utensil of choice to be less efficient;) (sprinkle in a little water or oil if dry, add in almond meal if too moist).
- EGG-LESS***Variation: omit eggs and add a little water and flour, as long as mixture sticks a little you are good to go.
- Scoop out palm sized amount or smaller and flatten, use the other 1/2 cup of almond meal (flour and almond meal makes it extra crispy) to coat outside of patties.
- It will fall apart easily-it's ok!
- Pan fry in safflower oil, or grapeseed oil, never in olive oil.
- The patties should be "lacy" thin for frittatas, remember they will stick together once in the oil-I usually slide a patty off a spatula into the oil, gently press "drifters" back into frittata edges -- Let drain on paper bags/kitchen paper/paper towels, wrap any extra frittatas in wax paper to separate and freeze.
- Keeps in fridge well 3-5 days.
- Top with a slice of butter and/or avocado slices.
- Kids liked putting ketchup on top like hash browns -- protein (almond meal), veggies, and good oils-what more could you ask for?!
- I've made variations of these by using diff combos veges.
- Works great with leftover vege's!
