CRAB & CORN FRITTATA

Some people find Italian frittatas or Spanish tortillas easier to make than French-style omelettes because they don’t have to be folded, but are finished under the grill instead. If you find this one’s slow to set in the middle, place it into a 180°C oven to finish cooking. Serve it with a green salad, blob of sour cream and sprinkling of chives if you like.

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
