Quick veg and cheese frittata

-

Method

1. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and use your hands to squeeze out any excess moisture then transfer to a large bowl. Add the turkey, chives and 30g feta. Season and shape into twelve 2cmthick patties.

2. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil. Place over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.

3. Meanwhile, place the peas in a large saucepan of boiling water. Cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return to pan. Use a potato masher or fork to mash peas, keeping some texture, then stir through pesto and remaining feta. Season.

4. Slice rolls down centre, making sure not to cut all the way through. Top with spinach and rocket, patties, pea mixture, cranberrie­s and pine nuts. Drizzle over balsamic to serve.
