Onion Frittata Onion Frittata
Hi everyone! Today, I'm sharing a true Italian classic: onion frittata. This dish brings back so many childhood memories—my grandparents used to tell us that when they were young, they didn’t have much to put on the table, so they made this out of necessity. Now, even though we have almost everything, we still crave those simple, genuine flavors. It’s perfect as an appetizer or a main dish, super easy, quick, delicious, and budget-friendly. With its slightly sweet flavor from all the onions, it’s sure to win everyone over! FrancescaTranslated from Cookpad Italy -

Herb and Potato Frittata Herb and Potato Frittata
There are many edible wild plants that grow naturally... I’ve learned to recognize and use a few in the kitchen, thanks to my expert mother-in-law. Today I’m making a frittata... without eggs... but trust me, it’s delicious! I used wild radish greens and borage with potatoes, chili pepper, and garlic. After boiling the potatoes for 25 minutes, I added the carefully washed and chopped greens. Then I mashed everything and seasoned with salt and Pecorino cheese. I made a sauté with garlic, oil, and chili pepper, then cooked the frittata. It’s a humble dish, but full of vitamins and minerals. Paola CatalanoTranslated from Cookpad Italy
