Main Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 50g spicy tuna
- 1 sausage
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- 20g onion
- 20g red cabbage
- 30g broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon cooking wine (mirin, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine to eliminate any eggy odor and 1 teaspoon of salt for flavor. Whisk thoroughly with a fork or whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. This helps break down the egg whites for a smoother texture.
Step 2
Next, prepare the vegetables and sausage. Finely dice the red cabbage and onion into small, uniform pieces, about 0.5cm in size, so they blend well into the frittata. Slice the sausage into approximately 0.5cm thick rounds.
Step 3
Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes, depending on their size, similar to the sausage slices. Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets. (You can lightly blanch the broccoli beforehand for a softer texture if preferred).
Step 4
To the beaten eggs, add the diced red cabbage and onion, along with the spicy tuna. (You can drain some of the oil from the tuna for a less greasy result).
Step 5
Gently stir everything together with a spatula or spoon, ensuring the tuna and vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture. This ensures every bite of your frittata is flavorful.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to cook! Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly as it melts. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading it gently. Arrange the sliced sausage and broccoli florets decoratively over the surface of the uncooked egg.
Step 7
Finally, scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the frittata for a burst of color and a touch of sweetness. Place them strategically to enhance the visual appeal of the dish.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low (simmer) and cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is lightly golden. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 9
Carefully slide the frittata onto a plate or cutting board. Slice it like a pizza and serve warm. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying dish, perhaps with a side of salad for a complete meal!
