For lack of a more descriptive
term we use the word omelet in the
English title to describe a fritada (frittata in Italian). It is in fact a cousin of the
French omelet, but a distant cousin. In the Venetian omelet the eggs and
the filling are incorporated prior to being placed in the frying pan.
Sometimes the eggs are added to the already cooking filling. The Venetian
omelet is not shaken in the pan to give the characteristic oblong shape of
French omelets. It is round and hard, cooked cornpletely through.
Fritada coi spanasi (spinach omelet) is probably the most popular. Other possibilities for fritada include ones made with salami, chicken livers, ham, soft cheese, grated hard cheese, tomato sauce (page 218), parsley, onion (cooked or raw), boiled zucchini slices, boiled asparagus tips, peas sauteed in butter, or mushroorns sauteed in butter and olive oil.1 |

Raramente si preparano frittate di sole uova: di solito vengono arricchite con l'aggiunta di varie derrate e piante spontanee (asparagi verdi, tamaro, pungitopo, radicchio selvatico, varie qualità di funghi e tartufi) . In questo libro sono riportate alcune ricette fondamentali per la preparazione di frittate, che possono venir servite assieme all'insalata, come uno spuntino stimolante e ricco di calorie.2 Notes:
