Butternut squash and sweet potato tortilla

Ingredients

  1. 350g packet butternut and sweet potato cubes (from Waitrose)
  2. 1 onion, finely chopped
  3. 1 tbsp olive oil
  4. 4 large free-range eggs, beaten
  5. 100g vegetarian feta, crumbled
  6. Bunch of fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped
  7. 3 tbsp toasted pine nuts
  8. Green salad to serve

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Put the butternut and sweet potato cubes in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 5-6 minutes until tender, then drain.
  2. 2. Meanwhile, cook the onion in the olive oil over a medium heat in a small frying pan for 5-10 minutes until tender. Add the butternut and sweet potato cubes, turn the heat to medium-high and cook for 2 minutes until they turn lightly golden. Pour in the beaten eggs, feta, parsley and pine nuts and cook for 5-10 minutes until the underside of the tortilla is golden brown (use a spatula to lift the edge to check).
  3. 3. Place under the grill and cook for 5-10 minutes until the tortilla is fully set and the top is golden. Invert onto a chopping board, cut into wedges and serve with a green salad.

I made this from scratch - peeled the squash etc Made it first time for my veggie friends who wolfed it down. Had it again last night - its definitely going into my favourites folder. Although pine nuts are expensive, they are well worth adding for the texture and the protein.

anyone who buys a packet of butternut and sweet potato cubes is either pushed for time or lazy.
