Kane's Kitchen - 19th July 2011 - Leek and Mushroom Frittata with Spicy Tomato Relish

Frittata is a baked Italian omelette traditionally containing meat, cheese and vegetables.  Chorizo and potato are delicious in frittata – but for today’s recipe, I have chosen a vegetarian option (except for the part where you can serve it with crispy bacon!).  Frittata can be eaten for breakfast but is also substantial enough to have as a lunch or dinner.  Enjoy!
