How to Make Caramelised Onion And Chickpea Frittata

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized.
  2. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed, to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the onion and chickpea mixture in the frying pan.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves over the top.
  6. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  7. Transfer the frittata to a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the top. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. Serve immediately with a fresh salad and your favorite chutney.
