We love to eat frittata and I am always delighted when I get a recipe for a new version. This is from the recently published ” One Pan Beans” by Claire Thomson. This chef and food writer lives very near to me and we share the same local shops on our doorstep. I eagerly await every new publication and am slowly but steadily cooking my way through her books. I think the latest count is 11. She also now has her own recipe website named after her first book 5 Oclock Apron.

An easy gently spiced and fragrant curry, from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thompson. Serve with brown or white rice and a jarred Indian pickle or chutney.
