Ingredients:

1 red pepper
80g
6 eggs
300g
3/4 cup white rice
170g
1 large zucchini
300g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1 tbsp basil
4g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:
- Cook the white rice according to the package instructions. After it’s cooked, set it aside to cool.
2. Roast the Red Pepper:
- Place the red pepper directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and blackened all over. Put the pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for about 10 minutes.
- Once cool, peel away the blackened skin, remove the seeds, and chop the flesh into small pieces.
3. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash and grate the zucchini. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent a soggy frittata.
5. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the cooked rice, grated zucchini, roasted red pepper, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped basil. Mix everything until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Cook the Frittata:
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil to coat the bottom.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and spread it out evenly. Cook on the stovetop for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Once the edges are set, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden brown on top.
7. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner along with a side salad.

Tips:

- Roast the red pepper ahead of time to save preparation time on the day you make the frittata.

- Use leftover rice if available. It’s a great way to reduce waste and save cooking time.

- Ensure the zucchini is grated and any excess water is squeezed out to prevent the frittata from becoming soggy.

- For a more robust flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or some freshly ground black pepper.

- If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dried ones, but remember to halve the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.

This Roasted Capsicum, Rice, and Feta Frittata is a versatile and delicious dish that's easy to prepare and packed with nutritious ingredients. Whether served hot out of the oven or at room temperature, it's sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy the bursts of flavor and the satisfying texture in every bite. Happy cooking!
