Sauteed Cabbage （キャベツのガリバタ炒め）

My homemade dish called "Sauteed Cabbage".

Recipe : 3 servings

400 grams cabbage shredded coarsely

3-6 sausages (wiener, frankfurter or fish) cut diagonally 斜め切り

1 garlic clove finely chopped

10-15 grams butter

pinch salt

pinch black pepper

1 tbs. olive oil

（注）tbs.=table spoon （大さじ）　tsp.=tea spoon （小さじ）

Directions :

1. Heat olive oil in a frying pan... add sausages, cabbage, garlic and stir-fry till they come to soften.

2. Almost cooked, add butter, salt, pepper and stir-fry.

（注）

これ、Stir-fried Cabbage と言うのが正しいように思うのですが、ネットで海外の投稿を見ると殆どが Sauteed Cabbage と書いてます・・・こう言うのが通例なんでしょう？なお、with garlic and butter としたいところですが誰もそのように書いてませんね・・・キャベツ炒めというのは普通ガリバタ炒めのことなんですね。

Frittata （フリッタータ）

My homemade dish called "Frittata".

Recipe : 3 servings

6 eggs

60 grams mushroom・・・しめじ、椎茸等

1/2 onion sliced

1 potato sliced

1/2 tomato diced 1cm

1 tbs. cheese

1/2 tsp. salt or 3grams chicken stock (consomme)

pinch black pepper

3 tbs. olive oil

（注）tbs.=table spoon （大さじ）　tsp.=tea spoon （小さじ）

Directions :

1. Heat 1 tbs. olive oil in a frying pan... add onion, potato, mushroom and stir-fry till they come to soften.

2. Beat eggs in a bowl and add ingredients, pepper, salt.

3. Heat 2 tbs. olive oil in a frying pan and pour the egg mixture into the pan.

(note)

A ratio of ingredients to make a great frittata...

6 eggs

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup cheese

2 cups vegetable

これが本場イタリアでの黄金比率らしいです・・・クリーミーに仕上げるのがポイントなのだそうですが、私はクリーム類は入れなかったけど美味かった（本場の味を知らないだけですけど・・・笑）。卵を多めにしないとばらけますし、油多めでないと焦げ付きますね（コーティング加工したフライパンを使えと大概書いてある）・・・何回失敗した事か！

クリームはミルク、サワークリーム、ヨーグルトなんかもOKなようなことが書いてありますが、試していません。
