\"Black<\/a><\/p>\n

This was my entry for this past week’s Twitter Black Box<\/a>. It’s a fun challenge where cooks and chefs each create a dish that must contain the four ingredients chosen by the previous week’s winner. Last week, 2013 Winnipeg\u00a0Gold Medal Plates champion<\/a>, Diversity Food Services<\/a> chef and all-around amazing person, Chef Kelly Cattani handily won the contest, choosing kale, anchovy, cheese and any pulse as the four black box ingredients for the coming week.<\/p>\n

Assuming a few competitors would go the route of saut\u00e9ed kale with anchovy breadcrumbs (although none did as of this writing) I wanted to be sure to think outside the norm. I came up with this quick frittata that not only packs a serious protein punch, but tastes great too. The lentils add a great texture and dimension that elevate this simple egg dish to another level of flavour.<\/p>\n

Time: 30 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/address>\n
4 anchovies (canned in oil) \u2013 chopped<\/address>\n
\u00bd red onion \u2013 thinly sliced<\/address>\n
2 large leaves kale \u2013 stem removed and sliced<\/address>\n
6 eggs \u2013 lightly beaten<\/address>\n
\u00bd cup canned lentils \u2013 rinsed and drained<\/address>\n
\u00bc teaspoon red pepper flakes<\/address>\n
\u00bc teaspoon fresh ground black pepper<\/address>\n
\u00bc teaspoon kosher salt<\/address>\n
4 ounces manchego cheese – grated<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n

Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 350F. Place a skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil.<\/p>\n

When the oil is hot, add the anchovies and onion, stirring occasionally for three minutes.<\/p>\n

Add the kale to the skillet and saut\u00e9 for three more minutes.<\/p>\n

Stir in the eggs and all remaining ingredients except the cheese. Continue to stir gently for two minutes or until large curds begin to form in the eggs.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle the cheese on top and place the skillet in the oven for fifteen minutes or until the egg mixture is firm.<\/p>\n

Remove from heat, let rest for three minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.<\/p>\n
