LEMON-HERB TURKEY FRITTATA AND RATATOUILLE NAPOLEON Adapted from Source: Chef Walter Staib Servings: 4
1/4 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic 1 medium red onion, julienned 1 large red bell pepper, finely julienned 1 large green bell pepper, finely julienned 2 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed, finely julienned 6 to 8 large eggs 1 pound angel hair pasta, cooked al dente 1/2 pound Dietz & Watson® Provolone cheese, julienned 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 2 pounds Dietz & Watson® Lemon Herb Butter Breast of Turkey, julienned 1 teaspoon stemmed and finely chopped fresh thyme 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1/2 stick butter Ratatouille, for serving (recipe follows) Chive blossoms, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, toss in the garlic, onion, mushrooms, and bell peppers, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Stir together the eggs, pasta, cheese, turkey, thyme, basil, oregano, and chilled sautéed vegetables in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the butter and remaining oil in a sauté or omelet pan over medium-high heat, and add about one-eighth of the egg mixture, shaping it into a cake about 1/2 inch thick and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Brown on each side for about 3 minutes, then remove the frittata to a baking sheet. Repeat seven more times with the remaining mixture.
Place the frittatas in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, until cooked through.
Place one frittata in the center of each plate. Top with a generous amount of ratatouille and finish with another frittata to make a Napoleon. Garnish with the chive blossoms.
