Herb & Leek Frittata with Smoked Trout, sour cream and avocado served with Spier The Yellowwood Organic Rosé
Ingredients (serves 6)
- 30ml butter
- 200g leeks, sliced up (about 2 cups)
- 8 XL eggs
- Small bunch of baby spinach leaves (about 20g)
- Small bunch of parsley (about 20g)
- Small bunch of dill (about 20g) with extra for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 250g thick sour cream
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- At least 100g cold-smoked trout/salmon ribbons
- Fresh lemon wedge, to serve
Method:
- Preheat oven to 220°C
- In a 23cm iron skillet, heat half the butter and fry the leeks until soft but not too brown.
- Transfer to a blender, adding eggs, spinach, parsley, dill and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Process into a thick, green batter.
- In the same pan, add the rest of the butter over high heat. Add the green mixture, using a spatula to stir it slowly as if making scrambled eggs. Stop stirring when the mixture starts to look lumpy but still runny (it only takes a minute or two).
- Transfer the pan to the oven, and bake for 8 – 10 minutes, until just set.
- Allow to cool at room temperature, then top with sour cream, sliced avocado and trout/salmon. Season, slice and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
