Recipe Club! Frittata!

We were lucky enough to savour this "Sweet potato & feta frittata" by our runner & New Zealander Julie McConnell. 

This dish packs a mighty punch of the right kind of carbs, protein & nutrients to keep you going stronger for longer! We enjoyed this dish at our "Recipe Club" get together October 2015. Everyone welcome, let us know if you're keen for the next Recipe Club. 

Our Nutritionist Charlene Cassie tells us this is an amazing dish and if anything to lower the fat content a bit we can use half feta and half chunky cottage cheese. 

Ingredients:

1kg sweet potato chopped into small cubes 

1 onion finely chopped

Olive oil x 1 1/2 tablespoons

Asparagus x 1 bunch 

Eggs x 5 free range

Greek Feta 150gms

Method: 

1) Peel and dice sweet potato and mix in 3/4 tablespoon of olive oil then spread on to some baking paper and bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes on oven bake.

2) Whilst sweet potato is cooking finely dice onion in a pan with remaining olive oil on a moderate heat. Once you have cooked onion for a minute then add asparagus to lightly cook for around 3 minutes.
