There were several dishes I could have chosen from, but settled on a frittata with a side salad. The frittata had sweet potato, feta, olives and spinach, which are all favourites of mine. The generous serve was quite yummy with sweet orange bites of potato that were contrasted by the salty cheese and olives. I have since had a go at recreating the frittata at home and thought I would share it with you.
To start, I was mindful about the quantity of sweet potato as the Monash University recommended serving size is <½ cup due to its moderate mannitol content. The rest of the ingredients I measured out so there was a nice even scattering of each in the pan. I found some feta that was flavoured with basil pesto (no garlic!) that added some more flavour. I gave the eggs a good whisking to incorporate a bit of air. This really is a simple dish that you could play around with depending on what ingredients you have handy. We enjoyed the frittata warm with some grilled lamb, and the leftovers have supplied me with a quick tasty lunch the last couple of days.
