Larder: 5 eggs, 2 tsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp sugar, salt and pepper, 40g chopped chorizo (optional).

Instructions:

• Preheat the grill.
• Thinly slice the potatoes, slice the shallots, garlic and peppers.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy based frying pan; sauté the vegetables with chorizo for 5 minutes.
• Halve the tomatoes and add to the pan – cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Beat the eggs and mix in the salt, pepper and chopped basil leaves. Pour the egg mixture over vegetables and cook for 5-7 mins to set the bottom of the frittata.
