Chickpea, Courgette and Onion Frittata Recipe

There is a perfect dish for any time of the day, whether it's breakfast or dinner. We are talking about the chickpea, courgette and onion frittata. Although this dish is perfectly suited to the needs of vegetarians, it is not suitable for vegans, as it contains eggs. However, this is not a problem, as the eggs can be substituted. In fact, instead of eggs, we can use wholemeal or chickpea flour. Let’s see how to prepare the chickpea, courgette and onion frittata, a simple, economical, and light dish, whose ingredients are also easily obtainable.

Ingredients

extra virgin olive oil to taste
salt to taste
spices to taste
grana cheese to taste
chilli jam to taste
chilli to taste (preferably chopped)
1 courgette
1 onion
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
approximately 150cl water
50cl milk
50g ricotta
50g chickpea flour

Chickpea, Courgette and Onion Frittata: How to Prepare It

The first step to prepare our chickpea, courgette and onion frittata is to mix the bicarbonate of soda with the chickpea flour, then combine everything with some water. During this step, it is very important to make the mixture homogeneous, being careful to eliminate all lumps. Next, we will need to add the milk and ricotta to the mixture. Once this is done, we should add the grana, spices, pepper, and the remaining ingredients, mixing everything with a fork, ensuring the mixture is creamy. Salt is the only ingredient in this mixture that is optional, as it is not necessary for the proper preparation of the chickpea, courgette and onion frittata.

Cooking

While we make the mixture creamy, we need to heat a non-stick pan with some oil. Once hot, we will pour the entire mixture we just prepared into it. We will then need to cook the frittata over medium heat for ten minutes with the lid on our pan, after which we will need to flip the frittata and cook the other side for 5 minutes, still with the lid on. After that, we should turn off the heat and let the chickpea, courgette and onion frittata cool in the pan.
