Caramelised onion and sweet potato frittata

Serves:

Serves 6-8

Ingredients

• 60ml (3 tbsp) olive oil
• 2 brown onions, sliced
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 5ml (1 tsp) balsamic vinegar
• 250g sweet potato, peeled
• 6 eggs
• 2 tbsp parmesan, grated
• 1 tsp thyme leaves

Method

Preheat oven to 190°C conventional (170°C fan-forced).

Heat 20ml (1 tbsp) olive oil in a small saucepan with a lid. Add onions and stir to coat, then seal with lid and cook over very low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar and vinegar and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop sweet potato into 1cm dice. Toss in 20ml (1 tbsp) olive oil, season well with salt and pepper, and bake for 25-30 minutes until soft.

In a large bowl, using a fork, beat eggs. Stir through caramelised onions, baked potato cubes,  parmesan and thyme leaves. Season well. Heat remaining oil in a 25cm frypan over very gentle heat. Pour in egg mixture and scrape base of pan with a spatula intermittently until eggs begin to set. Leave for 8-10 minutes until almost done. Place under a grill for a further 2 minutes until the top has just set.

Serve wedges of frittata with a salad of rocket and balsamic.
