VEG FRITTATA / NZEGE
So today I wanted to make something rather different for breakfast and I thought back to my time in Tanzania where locals used to make a type of frittata called Nzege (eggs and chips something quite similar to a spanish omelets).
Since we don’t eat eggs in our household, I was determined to create something similar to Nzege but a vegetarian friendly one.
I must say the effort was most certainly worth it. Its a rather filling dish and just to add to the feel good factor, it is made with oats. Go on, give this a whirl, I promise you will love it! The best thing about it is that you can add other veg and omit the potato although that is what makes it rather delicious.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oat flour
2tbsp semolina
Approx 1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2green chilies finely chopped
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tomato – diced
Handful of chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon ghee
1/4 teaspoon Eno
2 tablespoon mozzarella cheese grated
Fries/ chips made with one small potato.
1/2 cup oat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt
2green chilies finely chopped
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tomato – diced
Handful of chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon ghee
1/4 teaspoon Eno
2 tablespoon mozzarella cheese grated
Fries/ chips made with one small potato.
Grind the oats, and make flour. Place in a large bowl, add semolina, butter milk, salt and mix well. Set aside for about 10 minutes. Add chopped chilies, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and mix well. Prepare flowing consistency of batter. Add Eno and stir well. Heat the nonstick skillet, add ghee pour the batter and spread with the back of the spoon. Let cook, and flip on the other side and cook until golden brown. Place chip/ fries on top, sprinkle cheese and broil until cheese melts. Enjoy Nzege, serve immediately .
