First, prep your roast vegetables

Step 2
Fry your onion, garlic and chilli
- Peel and finely slice the red onion and garlic
- Rip the stem from the chilli, cut it in half lengthways, remove the seeds and finely chop
- Warm 2 tbsp olive oil in the frying pan over medium heat, add the onions and sweat them down for 5-6 minutes until translucent
- Add the garlic and the chilli to the pan and cook them with the onions for a further 2-3 minutes
- Remove from the heat and set to one side
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 garlic clove

Step 3
Prepare your batter
- Put the gram flour and salt in a large bowl and gradually add the water, whisking constantly until you have a smooth batter (you may not need all the 175ml water)

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 175g plain flour

Step 4
Cook the frittata mix
- Warm 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium, non-stick high-sided frying pan, over a low to medium heat
- Pour in the batter and gently fry for 10-12 minutes, using a spatula to gently loosen around the edges and prevent sticking
- Take the pan off the heat, place a dinner plate on top of the frying pan and carefully flip the pan to remove the frittata
- Gently slide the frittata back into the pan, so the cooked side is facing upwards, and cook for a further 10-12 minutes until the edges of the frittata are golden and crispy
Step 5
Serve and enjoy
- Carefully slide the frittata out of the pan, cut it into 6 slices (like a pizza) and serve immediately with a side of baby leaf spinach salad
- Squeeze over the lemon juice to dress the salad
