La ricetta calabrese, apparently. Peeled potatoes got sliced, not too thinly, tossed in a bowl with some flour, salt and quite a lot of oregano. Olive oil, not a stingy amount at all was heating up, a crushed garlic clove in it, which I removed after a couple of minutes. Potatoes in, fairly neatly, pressed down, then the heat gets lowered, lid on, about 25 minutes. Then, with the help of the lid one removes the olive oil, saving it aside, in order to safely turn the frittata upside down using a plate. Olive oil goes back in. The lid too, another 10 minutes. Olive oil out, frittata onto the serving plate, good to eat. Potato dishes like this I would happily eat on their own, with a spoon and a glass of wine!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/09\/1000037413-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/09\/1000037413-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/09\/1000037413-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/09\/1000037413-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/09\/1000037413-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/09\/1000037413-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/09\/1000037413-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Braised cabbage was my regular Delia Smith&#8217;s recipe, plus some raisins, to get Izzie more excited about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florek, not a fan of duck, had a beautiful chicken kiev. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of calories on this plate was probably mind blowing, but I will be looking to reduce them daily from next week.
