Froutalia: Andros farmhouse omelette with fried potatoes and pork sausage

Features:

High protein

Cuisine:

Greek

On Andros and Tinos, froutalia is the thick, golden omelette farm families ate after a morning in the fields: potatoes and local pork sausage fried in a deep pan, then bound with eggs and a little cheese and cooked until set right through. It is cut in wedges like a Spanish tortilla and eaten hot or cold, with bread and a tomato and cucumber salad, at any time of day. On the island it is made with louza or a smoked pork sausage seasoned with fennel; any good coarse pork sausage works. Common mistake: adding the eggs while the potatoes are still hard; they never soften once the eggs set. Chef's tip: flip it onto a plate halfway so both sides brown evenly.

Method

0/6 done

Step 1: Heat 5 tbsp olive oil in a 24–26 cm non-stick or well-seasoned frying pan over a medium heat. Fry 1 ⅛ lb potatoes for 15 minutes, turning often, until golden and tender when pierced.
15 min
Step 2: Add 9 oz coarse pork sausage and fry for 6–8 minutes more, until browned all over and cooked through: no pink inside and at least 160°F in the centre of a piece.
8 min
Step 3: Beat 7 eggs with 1 ¾ oz graviera or kefalotyri, ⅛ oz fresh mint, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper. Pour over the potatoes and sausage and stir gently once so the egg runs down to the bottom.
1 min
Step 4: Turn the heat to low and cook for 6–8 minutes, until the edges are set and the top is still a little wet.
8 min
Step 5: Slide onto a plate, flip back into the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes more, until the egg is fully set in the middle.
4 min
Step 6: Rest for 3 minutes and cut into wedges.

Greek village salad

A true Greek salad has no lettuce: just ripe tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, sharp onion and olives, dressed with good olive oil and dried oregano, with a whole slab of feta on top. Salt the tomatoes first and they'll make their own dressing.

Pork souvlaki

This is a pork recipe. Walk through any Greek town after dark, from Athens to Thessaloniki, and the smell of souvlaki stands drifts down the street; cubes of pork shoulder grilled on thin skewers are the country's favourite cheap supper, eaten standing up or at a plastic-table taverna. At home you marinate the meat in lemon, olive oil, garlic and dried oregano, grill it hard and fast, and pile it on warm pitta with tzatziki, tomato and red onion. Chef's tip: cut the pork into even 2.5 cm cubes and leave a little fat on; lean loin dries out, shoulder stays juicy over high heat.

Sabudana khichdi

Sabudana khichdi is the dish that sees Maharashtra through every vrat (fast), from Navratri to Ekadashi, but it's so good that people eat it any day of the week. Soaked sago pearls are tossed in a pan with crushed roasted peanuts, cubes of potato, cumin and green chilli until each pearl turns glassy and separate, then finished with lemon and coriander. It's soft, chewy, nutty and gently hot. Fasting rules vary from family to family, so check yours; this version uses rock salt and no asafoetida, onion or garlic. Traditionally it's cooked in ghee; use ghee instead of oil if you aren't keeping it vegan. Chef's tip: soak the sago in just enough water to cover by the height of the pearls themselves, no more; too much water is the reason khichdi turns into one sticky lump.
