Savory Cabbage and Carrot Frittata with Mozzarella

Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this delicious frittata:

Vegetables and Herbs:

• • 1/2 cabbage (approximately 600g, finely shredded)

• • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 carrots (grated)
  • A few sprigs of parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)

Batter:

• • 4 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons of flour
  • 1/4 cup of milk (50 ml)

• • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of oregano

Cheese:

• • 100g of mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Making It Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Start by prepping your vegetables. Finely shred the cabbage using a knife or a food processor. Grate the carrots and finely chop the onion and parsley. Set them aside. This mix of vegetables will add color, crunch, and nutrition to your frittata.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and the carrots are tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the heat and set them aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and slightly frothy. Add the flour, milk, olive oil, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano to the eggs. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. This batter will bind the vegetables together and give the frittata its fluffy texture.

Step 4: Combine the Vegetables and Batter

Once the sautéed vegetables have cooled slightly, gently fold them into the egg batter. Make sure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will ensure that each bite of the frittata is packed with flavor and texture.

Step 5: Add the Mozzarella Cheese

Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a little to sprinkle on top of the frittata. The mozzarella will melt as the frittata cooks, adding a delicious creaminess to the dish.

Step 6: Cook the Frittata

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil. Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Place the frittata in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean when the frittata is fully cooked.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Once the frittata is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve the frittata warm, either on its own or with a side of salad, bread, or yogurt for a complete meal.

Cooking Tips

• • Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables to the mix, such as bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini. Just be sure to sauté them before adding them to the batter to remove excess moisture.
  • Cheese Options: If you prefer, you can swap out mozzarella for other cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or feta. Each will give the frittata a different flavor and texture.
  • Even Cooking: To ensure the frittata cooks evenly, avoid overloading the batter with too many vegetables or cheese. Stick to the proportions in the recipe for the best results.

• Make It Spicy: If you like a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the egg batter for a spicy kick.

Storage

• • In the Refrigerator: This frittata stores well in the fridge. Place any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave it for a minute or two, or warm it up in the oven at a low temperature until heated through.

• In the Freezer: You can also freeze this frittata. Once it’s completely cooled, slice it into individual portions, wrap each piece in plastic wrap, and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat in the oven or microwave.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Tikka

Marinate the Chicken:

Bake:
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with dried oregano leaves, and serve hot.

Protein Bars: A Tastier and Healthier Snickers Alternative in Just 5 Minutes

In today’s fast-paced world, finding a nutritious yet delicious snack can be quite a challenge. Most of the readily available options are loaded with sugar and unhealthy additives. However, there’s a fantastic alternative that you can make at home in just five minutes – protein bars! These bars not only satisfy your sweet cravings but also provide a healthy dose of protein without the guilt. In this article, we’ll show you how to create your own protein bars that are not only tastier than Snickers but also free from sugar and baking. Let’s dive into the details.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Base:

• 8.8 ounces (250 grams) of peanut butter
• 3.5-5.3 ounces (100-150 grams) of coconut flour (depending on the desired consistency)
• 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of sweetener (choose from honey, maple syrup, or stevia)

For the Glazing:

• 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of cocoa powder
• Coconut milk and sweetener to taste

The Simple Preparation Process:

 Mixing the Dough

1. Start by taking a bowl and adding 250 grams of peanut paste (butter) into it. You can easily make peanut paste at home if you prefer the homemade touch.
2. Gradually add 100 grams of coconut flour into the bowl and mix it with the peanut paste. Depending on the desired consistency of your mixture, you can add the remaining 50 grams of coconut flour if necessary.
3. Now, it’s time to sweeten the mixture. You have options here – you can use honey, stevia, or maple syrup as a natural sweetener. Add it to the bowl and mix everything thoroughly. The mixture should be thick but still easy to pour into a mold.

 Molding and Chilling

1. Take a mold with a flexible rim; it should be smaller in size since this recipe makes a smaller batch. If you desire more, simply double the ingredients.
2. Pour the prepared mixture into the mold and use a spatula to pat it down and level it nicely.
3. Cover the mold with cling film and place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to let it cool.

Preparing the Glaze

1. While your protein bar mixture is cooling in the fridge, you can prepare the glaze. Take 50 grams of cocoa and gradually add a little coconut milk until it forms a runny glaze.
2. Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your liking by adding sweetener. Mix it well.

The Final Touch

1. Once the protein bar mixture has cooled, remove it from the refrigerator.
2. Pour the prepared glaze evenly over the top of the mixture.
3. Cut the bars into cubes, and they are ready to be served immediately.

These homemade protein bars not only taste amazing but also provide you with a nutritious snack option. Some even say they are tastier than Snickers! Plus, they are sugar-free and require no baking. What more could you ask for?

Conclusion

In a world filled with unhealthy snacking options, making your own protein bars is a game-changer. They are easy to prepare, healthier than traditional candy bars, and customizable to your taste preferences. Next time you’re craving a sweet treat, whip up a batch of these protein bars and enjoy guilt-free snacking.
