• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup heavy cream, or milk
• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning 
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon frying oil
• 1 small zucchini 6 oz/170g
• 50g fresh spinach leaves
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 piece of 145g salmon portion
• 60g soft goat’s cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F / 200 °C

2. Whisk the eggs with milk, italian seasoning, and cream together, season with salt and pepper, set aside.

3. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and then into ¼-inch (5mm) slices.

4. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and spin dry (when using thick and big leaves, cut off the stalks), chop the garlic finely.

5. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the zucchini, cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until tender and slightly browned.

6. Add the spinach and garlic, cook for 30 seconds or until wilted (thicker and larger spinach leaves need to be cooked a little longer).

7. TIP 1: If you are using an ovenproof frying pan – pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, stir, cook for about 2 minutes (without stirring) over medium-low hea. Take the pan off the heat, add the salmon pieces and goat’s cheese (divided with a teaspoon into small portions) on top. Put the frittata in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the eggs are set.

TIP 2: If your pan is not suitable to put in the oven – spread the zucchini and garlic at the bottom of a round baking dish, pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and place the salmon pieces and goat cheese (divided with a teaspoon into small portions) on top. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set.

8. To check if the frittata is ready, just shake slightly with the pan – it should not be jiggly in the middle. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS: 

4 pieces Banana Saba
1 cup vegetable or canola oil, or as needed
2 cups water
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to top
1 lemon juice

4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the water, garlic, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Set aside.
5. Add the saba to the oil, it should be just warm enough that it begins to lightly bubble shortly after adding the plantains, Fry the planatins until softened and golden, about 4 minutes on each side. Once cooked, drain the excess oil with a paper towel. 
6. Using the bottom of a glass, plate, or can, gently flatten each fried saba piece. Smash them just enough that they flatten out, but don’t try to make them too thin, or they will break apart.
7. Dip the flattened saba in the garlic-lime water. Let it sit for about 10 seconds, then remove from the water and gently pat dry with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining fried plantains.
8. When nearly ready to serve, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the flattened plantains back to the oil in batches and fry to crisp, about 1 minute per side.

Serving: 4 people

Cooking Time: 30 minutes 

INGREDIENTS 

SEAFOOD PAELLA 

Servings: 4 people

Cooking Time: 40 minutes 

INGREDIENTS: 

• ⅓ cup olive oil
• 1 white onion, finely diced 
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped 
• 4 pieces tomatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tsp spanish paprika
• 1 pinch saffron threads 
• 2 large pieces squid cleaned and sliced into ¼ inch-rings 
• 2 cups white rice 
• 1 cup white wine
• 3 cups seafood stock
• 12 Fresh shrimps 
• 1 piece lemons, sliced 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the white wine and seafood stock to a simmer. Add a pinch of saffron threads and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, put a large (16-inch) paella pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the onion to the pan and saute until translucent, stirring often.
3. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic (about 1-2 minutes). Before it starts to brown, add the tomato and stir, adding in the paprika and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir and saute until the tomatoes are reduced and the oil is sizzling.
4. Gently add the squid to the pan and stir to coat in the tomato mixture. Saute for about a minute, to give some color to the squid.
5. Next, add the rice and stir to combine. After a minute of sauteing, spread the rice evenly across the pan (don't worry if it looks like a thin layer, it will puff up).
6. Gently add the simmering white wine and stock to the pan, all in one go. Reduce the heat to low, and cook, without stirring, for 10 minutes. Carefully lay the prawns/shrimp in a circle on top of the rice and cook for a further 10 minutes, turning the shrimp over as they start to turn pink. If the rice starts to dry out before the shrimp is cooked, you can top it up with a bit more hot stock, half a cup at a time.
7. When the stock in the paella pan fully evaporates, you will hear a faint cracking from the bottom of the pan as the socarrat starts to form. If you don't hear anything, you can raise the heat to medium for a short burst!
8. When the rice is ready, remove the pan from the heat and arrange the mussels on top of the rice. Serve from the pan, with wedges of fresh lemon.
