I made three little pinch pots as we listened to a story about wabi-sabi with our eyes closed. I was pretty happy with the way they came out, asymmetry and all:
They will get fired, and next week I can paint them.
It is another busy week. Today I took off from the onions and peppers idea in my last post, and I created another quick dinner from leftovers! Knowing it doesn't have to be "perfect" is quite a relief sometimes....
Summertime Sausage Frittata (serves 3-4)
Heat a 10" skillet on medium.
Add 1-2 Tbs olive oil.
Add 1/2 onion, chopped;
1 pepper, chopped; and
some garlic pepper seasoning (to taste).
Cook and stir for a while, until the colors of the pepper look bright and shiny.
Add 2 cooked sausages, sliced.
Simmer it all together a little.
Meanwhile, beat four eggs.
Pour the eggs over the mixture in the skillet.
Let it cook a little while. Turn on the broiler.
Turn off the stove (that's the part I forgot to do today....).
Place your cast iron skillet under the broiler (not too close!) until the top looks "done."
Take two pieces of sliced Cabot cheddar cheese.
Break it into little pieces.
Scatter the pieces on top of the egg mixture.
Broil a little more....watching closely so it doesn't burn.
Remove. Cut into four pieces. Remember to turn off your broiler. Serve!
One nice bonus of the cast iron skillet is that it is perfect for under the broiler. :)
