Sunday Lunch

Nearly unfailingly, every Sunday morning is dedicated to cooking. During the week I start looking for innovative recipes to try during the weekend. Then, a special menu is created for Sunday lunch which is usually a 3 course meal. This Sunday we had some friends over and prepared the following menu:

• Octopus salad served on a chickpea puree
• Salmon and potato frittata
• Pici al limone (Tuscan type of pasta with lemon flavour) with artichoke hearts, leeks and guanciale
• Orechiette with sausage meat, broccoli and fresh tomatoes
• Ricotta and pear pie (Torta ricotta e pere)

Would like to share with you the recipe of the salmon and potato fritatta — so here it is:

Serves 4

• 150g fresh salmon, cooked
• 2 medium sized potatoes, cut into small cubes and boiled
• 1 garlic clove
• 5 eggs
• fresh parsley chopped
• salt & pepper

Chop finely the garlic and parsley. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add the cooked salmon, boiled potatoes, garlic, parsley, salt & pepper. Pour into an oiled oven proof dish and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes until brown. Delicious with toasted bread!
