Food blogger Marie Rayner shares this recipe for a beautiful frittata, filled with all the lovely tastes of spring.Nothing says spring time to me more than the fresh flavours of tender young fresh asparagus and sweet young freshly podded peas, and here in the UK we have the best asparagus and peas in the world! I don't think anyone could argue with that fact.
Nothing beats the taste of fresh peas from the pod. As a child, I loved being given the job of podding the peas and I think I probably ate half of what I podded, much to my mother's chagrin. Am I alone in thinking that peas taste beautiful raw and fresh from the pod? I didn't think so.
Here in the UK, we like to make hay while the sun shines and we have been taking full advantage of the sunny days, having days out together and taking in all the gorgeous springtime scenery that we can. We often take a bit of a picnic with us to share together in the sunshine. Oftimes it is just a couple of sandwiches and some fruit, but sometimes it's a delicious frittata like this beautiful springtime offering I have put together here.
Tender young spears of asparagus, tasty new potatoes, sweet young English peas, fresh thyme, chives, farm fresh free-range eggs and some crumbled Stilton cheese turn this into a truly British picnic offering. Colourful and delicious it went down a real treat on our latest sunny day outing!
Marie Rayner moved over to the UK from the East Coast of Canada in the year 2000. For the first ten years, she worked as a personal chef on a country manor estate situated in the Garden of England. She is now retired and blissfully cooking away for her husband, the Toddster, and their little pup Miztie in a little terraced house in the beautiful NorthWest. She is the author of a cookbook, based on a lifetime of recipes and cooking experience, entitled Recipes From The Big Blue Binder. You can also visit her blog The English Kitchen.
