Ingredients
- (4, roughly chopped including the beet greens) Red Beets (1lb)
- (1 pound) Ground Pork
- (1, chopped) Yellow Onions (2lb)
- (A few tablespoons to cook with) 1 pint - A2/A2 Ghee (Glass)
- (6 eggs) 1 dozen - Brown Honest Yolk Chicken Eggs
- (1/2 cup) 1/2 gallon - Raw Goat Milk (PA ONLY)
- (4 oz) Plain Goat Chevre, 8oz
- (1 1/2 teaspoons) Dried Sage
- (1/2 teaspoon) Crushed Red Pepper
- (1/4 teaspoon) Ground Nutmeg
- (Hefty pinch) Fine Celtic Sea Salt, 8oz
- (To taste) Ground Black Pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450F. Toss the beets and onion with a little melted ghee to coat and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper and give them a good toss. Roast in the oven until tender, about 25 minutes, tossing the veggies halfway through cooking. Remove them from the oven and set aside.
- Turn the oven temperature up to broil and move the rack so that it's 5 inches below the heat.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl combine the ground pork with the sage, pepper flakes, nutmeg and a hefty pinch of salt. Use your hands to mix well.
- In a 10 inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat add a little olive oil and then the pork. Cook, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat a bit, until the pork is no longer pink and cooked through. Add the cooked beets and chopped beet greens to the pork and give the mixture a good stir. Add the egg mixture and cook the frittata, lifting up the cooked eggs around the edges with a rubber spatula to let the undercooked eggs flow underneath, 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, giving the pan a shake now and again until the eggs are mostly set, but the center is still slightly jiggly, 5-7 minutes more.
- Dollop the top of the frittata with the goat cheese and sprinkle with a little flakey sea salt. Place it under the broiler until the frittata is set and golden brown. About 2-3 minutes.
