Meat Lovers Frittata With Salsa Verde Food

SALSA VERDE MEXICAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine Ground Beef with eggs and a good amount of the Salsa. Start at about ½ a cup and add more as desired. Add green chiles & olives. Add about a teaspoon each of spices or more if desired. Add enough bread crumbs until meat mixture sticks together. Crumble in cheese as desired.
• Grease pan as desired, form loaf in pan. Bake at 350 for 45 mins, and then check for doneness. Depending on your oven and how you shape the loaf this could take another 15-20 minutes.

MASALA FRITTATA WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium non-stick, ovenproof frying pan. Tip in the sliced onions and cook over a medium heat for about 10 mins until soft and golden. Add the Madras paste and fry for 1 min more, then tip in half the tomatoes and half the chilli. Cook until the mixture is thick and the tomatoes have all burst.
• Heat the grill to high. Add half the coriander to the eggs and season, then pour over the spicy onion mixture. Stir gently once or twice, then cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins until almost set. Transfer to the grill for 3-5 mins until set.
• To make the salsa, mix the avocado, remaining chilli and tomatoes, chopped onion, remaining coriander and the lemon juice together, then season and serve with the frittata.

POTATO FRITTATA WITH PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Boil the potatoes for 5 mins until just cooked, then drain. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl with the chillies, garlic and lots of black pepper. For the salsa, lightly oil the pepper halves and place, cut-side down, on a baking sheet.
• Stir the potatoes into the egg mixture, then tip into a shallow, lightly oiled ovenproof dish (ours was a deep 30cm dish). Cook in the oven with the peppers on the shelf above for 25-30 mins until the egg is set and starting to brown at the edges.
• Meanwhile, tip the sweetcorn into a bowl with the onion and basil, and stir in the lime zest and juice. Peel the roasted peppers, dice the flesh, and add to make the salsa.
• Serve half the frittata with half the salsa and half the rocket for two people. The remainder will keep chilled for up to three days. Serve cold or lightly warmed with the remaining salsa.

MEAT LOVER'S BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until brown and crisp. Remove bacon from skillet and drain on paper towels.
• Return the skillet to the heat and increase the temperature to medium-high. Add the onion and garlic, and stir fry until the onion is soft and the garlic begins to brown. Add the balsamic vinegar, and cook while stirring for one minute. Add the chopped mushrooms, and cook for three additional minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
• Finely chop 4 slices of the bacon (reserving the remaining 4). In a medium bowl, combine the chopped bacon, ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, mushroom mixture and egg. Mix well using hands. Season with salt and pepper, and form into two patties.
• Open the two halves of the hamburger bun on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place one beef patty on each half, and cover each with one slice of tomato, 2 slices of the reserved bacon and one slice of Swiss cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until meat has cooked through.
