How to make sliced frittata with tomato sauce

  • To make the frittata, break the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork.
  • Beat in the herbs and Parmesan.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick or heavy frying pan until hot but not smoking.
  • Pour in the seasoned egg mixture.
  • Cook, without stirring, until the frittata is puffed and golden brown underneath.
  • Take a large plate, place it upside down over the pan and, holding it firmly with oven gloves, turn the pan and the frittata over on to it.
  • Slide the frittata back into the pan and continue cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes more until it is golden brown on the second side.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
  • To make the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a medium heavy saucepan.
  • Add the onion and cook slowly until it is soft.
  • Add the tomatoes, garlic and 4 tablespoons water and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the pan and cook over moderate heat for about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and cool slightly before pressing the sauce through a food mill or sieve.
  • Leave to cool completely.
  • To assemble the salad, cut the frittata into thin slices.
  • Place them in a serving bowl and toss lightly with the sauce.
  • Serve at room temperature or chilled.
  • This dish, cold frittata with a tomato sauce, is ideal for a light summer lunch.
