Blue Corn And Pepper Frittata

Sin comes to us, taps us on the shoulder or tugs at our shirttail and whispers in our ear: “You deserve better than what God has provided. He’s holding out on you. You deserve to feel good about yourself. I’ll affirm you in a way no one else can. Why live in misery any longer? Come to me. I’ll give you a sense of power you’ve never known before. I’ll expand your influence. I’ll fill your heart with a sense of accomplishment. I’ll nourish your soul. You’ve never had a physical rush like the one I’ve got in store for you. Obeying God is boring. It’s a pain. He’s always telling you to do stuff that’s difficult and burdensome and inconvenient or ordering you to forsake the few things that really bring you happiness. Come on. You’ve only got one life. Obedience is ugly. My way is fun. My way feels good.”

INSTRUCTIONS

In a heavy cast-iron skillet or heavy shallow range-to-oven casserole
heat the  olive oil over low to moderate heat. Tilt the pan and swirl
the oil  so that it lightly films the sides of the pan.  2. Add the
onion and the chopped and minced peppers and cook slowly,  stirring
occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the onion is  lightly
browned.  3. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs with the salt and the
cayenne  until they are just  frothy. Whisk in the cornmeal, 1 Tb. at a
time, until it is smoothly  incorporated  and there are no lumps.
Preheat the oven to 350F.  4. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables
in the skillet. Sprinkle  the grated cheese evenly over the top.  5.
Place the skillet or casserole in the oven and bake for 12-15  minutes
until the  omelet is set and the cheese is melted.  6. Let the frittata
stand for a few minutes, then cut into wedges to  serve.  "The
frittata, an omelet that is either cooked in a skillet or baked  in the
oven, is  the way eggs are often prepared in Mediterranean cooking. A
variety of  vegetables  and/or cheeses are frequently added to the
basic egg mixture; Italians  favor artichokes, mushrooms, and spinach,
while the Spanish lean  toward tomatoes and potatoes. In this frittata
both sweet and hot  peppers add zing, while blue cornmeal  provides
subtle, earthy flavor. It is a nice dish for brunch or a  light lunch,
served with a tomato and avocado salad."  Typos by Brenda Adams
