Frittata with kale, tomato, and chorizo.

By Megan Fizell, Feasting On Art

This frittata recipe is extremely flexible and any number of ingredients on hand can be used.

Yield: a light meal for 4 people

1 tablespoon olive oil 

1/4 cup chorizo, chopped

1 can of chickpeas, drained

1/3 cup tomatoes, chopped

1 tablespoon chili flakes

Small handful of kale, roughly torn

1/4 lemon, juiced

Salt and pepper, to taste

5 eggs, beaten with a fork

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/ 390 degrees F.

2. In a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and add the chorizo. Cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, and add the chickpeas, tomatoes, chili flakes and kale. Continue to cook until the tomatoes begin to break down and the kale has wilted, around 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and seasoning, stir well and add the beaten eggs. Cover with the Parmesan cheese and slide into the oven.

3. Cook for around 10-15 minutes until the middle of the frittata has set. To check, grasp the handle of the pan and shake. If the eggs in the middle are wobbly, then the frittata needs to continue cooking.

4. Serve warm or cold. Makes a nice lunch when paired with a salad of bitter greens. Can be reheated the following day if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
