Paired with Spier The Yellowwood Organic Ros\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spier Yellowwood Organic Ros\u00e9 has beautiful flavours of violets, mulberry, juicy red plum and subtle spice, and is the perfect partner to this fragrant frittata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients (serves 6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 30ml butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 200g leeks, sliced up (about 2 cups)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 8 XL eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Small bunch of baby spinach leaves (about 20g)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Small bunch of parsley (about 20g)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Small bunch of dill (about 20g) with extra for garnish<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Salt and pepper, to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 250g thick sour cream<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 1 ripe avocado, sliced<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 At least 100g cold-smoked trout\/salmon ribbons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Fresh lemon wedge, to serve<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat oven to 220\u00b0C<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a 23cm iron skillet, heat half the butter and fry the leeks until soft but not too brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transfer to a blender, adding eggs, spinach, parsley, dill and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Process into a thick, green batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transfer the pan to the oven, and bake for 8\u201310 minutes, until just set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allow to cool at room temperature, then top with sour cream, sliced avocado and trout\/salmon. Season, slice and serve with fresh lemon wedges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
