Answer 1

An elegant and simple solution is the stately frittata, it's an italian omlette that you can put any variety of ingredients into (I prefer prosciutto and asiago cheese myself). It's kind of breakfasty, but it can be served at any time, and it's really easy to make. Serve it with a nice salad and some warm garlic bread, it's sure to impress.

Lamb Burgers with Seasonal Salad Recipe
This is a recipe which came about all because I was unable to get a piece of lamb for roasting in the supermarket one afternoon. As I had already decided to have lamb that evening, I purchased some minced lamb and came up with the following.

For one person, you will need:

250g (1/2 lb) minced lamb
1 large garlic clove (crushed or very finely chopped)
1 small red chilli pepper (deseeded and very finely chopped)
1/2 small red onion
Tbsp of fresh mint (roughly chopped)
1/2 small beaten egg
Salt/freshly ground black pepper
A little plain flour for dusting
Sunflower oil to fry with

150g (6oz) small new potatoes
Handful of lamb's lettuce
3 closed cup mushrooms (quartered down through the stem)
6 radishes (halved)
Salt/freshly ground black pepper

The first thing to do is to get the potatoes on to boil in salted water. Do not peel or chop them. They should take about twenty to twenty-five minutes. Drain them and set them aside to cool while you cook the burgers.

When the potatoes are boiling, start preparing the burgers. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. There is no implement unfortunately which substitutes adequately for the human hand during this process, so it's time to get the sleeves rolled up! Divide the resultant combination in two and form two round balls. Then simply flatten them to about 2cm (3/4 inch) in thickness. Dust with flour (which helps protect them during the initial stages of the cooking process) and cook for ten minutes each side in a frying pan or skillet on a low to medium heat.

Just before the burgers are ready, half your potatoes and mix with the remainder of the salad ingredients in a bowl and serve immediately.
