I do not know how they do it, but frittatas make any vegetable into something much more delicious and memorable. For example, I had some cooked green beans leftover from the Chacarero Sandwiches today. Since the day was cold and gloomy, not salad weather, I made a Chilean Green Bean Frittata or Tortilla de Porotos Verdes, and voila! A spectacular dinner was eaten.
I generally make my frittatas in an iron skillet. I love how they retain heat very well, and the frittatas are well sealed with a beautiful golden crust, but you can use any non-stick skillet, too.
