If you ever find yourself with too many left over herbs and greens, find this recipe, and stress no longer! This is so simple, and so delicious, it's actually unfair. All herbs and greens blended into the eggs, cooked and served in a skillet, with a saffron and chilli aioli that wins every time!

Method

Aioli is made as follows - in a blender, add mustard, red chilli paste, egg yolks, and a cooled reduction of saffron and garlic cloves (helps bloom saffron, and remove harshness of garlic). Blend, slowly adding the oil. Add ice cold water if it becomes too thick and in danger of splitting.

The frittata is simple, add all the ingredients to a blender, and blend, until smooth and heavy in green colour.

Heat up a medium skillet, on high heat. Add the egg mixture into the pan and turn down heat to low. Cook on the hob with a lid on for 5-8 minutes, and finish in the oven to set the top!
