    POTATO, RED PEPPER AND ONION FRITTATA

    Yield: 4 servings
    Source: "Great Healthy Food: Diabetes" by Azmina Govindji
    Info: http://diabeticgourmet.com/book_archive/details/7.shtml

    INGREDIENTS

    - About 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
    - 1 tablespoon olive oil
    - 1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced
    - 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
    - 4 large eggs
    - 1 tablespoon cold water
    - Salt and pepper, to taste
    - 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or oregano

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat the broiler to high. Boil the diced potatoes
    in lightly salted water for 5 minutes or until
    they are just tender. Drain them well.

    Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based, non-stick frying
    pan and gently saute the onion for 3-4 minutes until
    it is softened but not browned.

    Add the cooked potato and red pepper, increase the
    heat slightly and cook for a further 2-3 minutes,
    stirring gently, until the potatoes turn golden.

    Beat the eggs with cold water, season to
    taste, then mix in the herbs.

    Pour the eggs evenly over the vegetables in the
    pan and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes
    until the base is nicely browned.

    Transfer the pan to the broiler and cook
    for a further 2 minutes or until the top is
    set and a deep golden brown. Serve in wedges.
