Spiced Chickpeas and Greens Frittata

This vibrant spiced chickpea and greens frittata is a wonderful way to elevate the humble egg. Infused with mild curry powder and packed with fresh herbs, it offers a sophisticated depth of flavour that pairs perfectly with the earthy notes of kale or Swiss chard. The addition of soured cream ensures a rich, velvety texture, while a scattering of crispy, golden chickpeas provides a satisfying crunch. It is a colourful, fragrant dish that works just as well for a leisurely weekend brunch as it does for a nutritious midweek meal.

As a versatile vegetarian main, this frittata is naturally high in protein and fibre, making it a wholesome choice for those seeking a balanced diet. Serving it with a punchy, homemade garlic mayonnaise adds a luxurious finish that cuts through the heat of the red pepper flakes. Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or at room temperature for a picnic or packed lunch, this recipe is a reliable staple for any home cook looking to brighten up their repertoire.

Ingredients for Spiced Chickpeas and Greens Frittata

  • 12 huevos grandes

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped tender herbs (such as basil, coriander, and/or parsley)

  • 3/4 cup soured cream

  • 1/2 cucharadita de hojuelas de pimiento rojo triturado

  • 1 cucharadita de sal kosher, más al gusto

  • 60ml de aceite de oliva virgen extra, dividido

  • 2 (450g) cans chickpeas, rinsed,patted dry

  • 2 teaspoons medium curry powder

  • 1 cebolla mediana, finamente picada

  • 6 garlic cloves, 5 thinly sliced, 1 whole

  • 1 small bunch hardy greens (such as mustard, kale, or Swiss chard), ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into 2" pieces

  • 160ml de mayonesa

Preheat oven to 177°C. Whisk eggs, herbs, soured cream, red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl until no streaks remain.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium cast-iron or ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chickpeas and curry powder and season with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Transfer 240ml chickpeas to a bowl; set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, add onion, sliced garlic, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to chickpeas in skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and starting to brown, 7–9 minutes.

Add a handful of greens and 2 tablespoons water and cook until slightly wilted. Continue adding greens a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more, until all greens are wilted, about 5 minutes total; season with salt. Let cool 3 minutes.

Return pan to medium-low, pour in egg mixture, and cook, stirring eggs and swirling pan often, until edges are just set (texture should be like a very soft scramble), about 6 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake frittata until puffed slightly and centre is barely set, 10–15 minutes. Let cool 5–10 minutes.

Place mayonnaise in a small bowl and grate in remaining garlic clove; mix well. Season with salt.

Serve frittata with garlic mayo and reserved chickpeas.
