Supergreen Frittata

A frittata is one of my favorite summer lunches to make – it is so flexible, so easily delicious, and still manages to feel like a treat (that must be the cheese!).

What was even more of a treat was using all the special Girl & Dug Farm greens to make this one and using a new technique suggested by them which was pureeing most of the greens before folding them into the frittata. Genius! This made for a new staple – the supergreen frittata.

When you have excellent and exciting seasonal produce, you always want to do it justice, and I think this supergreen frittata does just that. 

With some agretti and edible flowers – pansies! – to dress it all up. 

Agretti is a delightful little weed, that is salty and is sometimes also referred to as land seaweed or sea grass. 

Tokyo negi (comes up below in the recipe) is a kind of spring onion, super fresh and crisp.

Supergreen Frittata
Author: Adapted from Girl & Dug Farm
Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: American
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  20 mins
Total time:  35 mins
 
A supergreen seasonal frittata, full of new and interesting greens and herbs.
Ingredients
  • 2 bunches agretti
  • 1 stem of tokyo negi
  • 1 green squash, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 0.25 cups olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons cotija cheese
  • edible flowers etc (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
  1. In a medium sized pan, saute agretti, squash, and garlic with a little bit of olive oil until just tender.
  2. Reserve a few of the sautéed agretti to add whole to the frittata. Add the rest of the sautéed vegetables to the blender with tokyo negi tops and lemon zest. Puree on high until combined. Slowly add in the remaining olive oil.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly lightened in color, then add in about 0.5 cup of the vegetable puree and a pinch of salt.
  4. Back to the stove - in an oven safe saute pan or skillet, first, melt the butter. Then, add in the egg mixture and cook for just one minute to "catch" the frittata on the bottom. Take off of heat, sprinkle with cheese and reserved sautéed agretti and place in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Top with edible flowers or other spring greens before serving.

I almost always like to first cook the frittata on the stove and only then finish it off in the oven. This ensures that it’s super crispy on the bottom.

    I haven’t ever seen agretti in this country. My husband and I had it served as a sautéed side at a restaurant in Italy and loved it. Your frittata sounds delicious.

      It’s so unique, isn’t it? I’ve seen it more and more at farm stands here in the last 2-3 years.

This summer fruit crisp is a super simple recipe to remember: the batter is 1 cup of flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, and 1 stick of butter (diced and dotted on top) + 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Don’t skimp on the butter and don’t skimp on the fruit either! I love peaches 🍑 and blueberries 🫐 here, but plums and nectarines would also be great // use at least 4 lbs of fruit, though I tend to skew more towards 5 lbs myself, but this recipe is flexible. Macerate the fruit with a few spoonfuls of sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, then pour the batter over it. Dot the top all over with the butter and sprinkle with some vanilla sugar, if you have it. Bake @ 350 F for about an hour until everything is all bubbly and set. 🥧 // enjoy for tea or for breakfast (my personal favorite) // #saffronandhoney #fruitrecipes #fruitcrisp #summerfruitcrisp #peachcrisp #peachblueberrycrisp

Food is comfort and food is community 🩷 // and this soy-braised tofu made with @foodlandhi ‘s new Maika’i Tofu (made locally at Aloha Tofu Factory) is definitely full of those comforting flavors of home // #foodland75 #foodlandambassador #tofurecipes #mauistrong #maikai Recipe:
1 pack Maikai Firm Tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
0.5 teaspoon gochugaru
2 tablespoons sliced scallions
1 teaspoon grated garlic (I use a microplane)
0.5 cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional) // 1.Pat dry the tofu and slice into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over the medium heat and cook the tofu for about 4 minutes on each side. 2. While the tofu cooks, make the braising liquid/sauce: whisk together soy sauce, sugar, scallions, water, gochugaru, and garlic. 3. When the tofu is ready, add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and reduce it slightly, basting the tofu in the liquid constantly; this will take about 3 minutes. 4. Take off heat, mix in sesame oil and sesame seeds into the sauce, spoon it over the tofu and serve hot or chilled.
