Fritatta is easy, perfect for using up odds and ends in your fridge, and a delicious source of protein that is packed with veggies. It’s easy to put together as you’re doing other kitchen chores since the cast iron skillet is nice and thick and helps prevent burning even if you forget to stir your onions as they caramelize.
This dish uses a pinch of turmeric for the health benefits, and a pile of greens as well.
Careful – it’s hot!
