Step-by-step

  • Clean the artichokes, remove the tougher leaves, rub them with lemon, and cut them into eight wedges.
  • As you clean the artichokes, place them in a bowl with lemon juice and the squeezed halves of the lemon.
  • Drain them with a colander and dry them with some kitchen paper.
  • In a pan, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat with two crushed garlic cloves.
  • When the garlic turns golden and begins to flavor the oil, add the artichokes and cook them over medium heat with fresh oregano.
  • Add the pancetta cut into strips.
  • Cook the artichokes for about ten minutes, turning them often. When they are tender, transfer them to a plate.
  • In the same pan, add a tablespoon of oil and brown the boiled potatoes cut into slices for a few minutes, then remove them and add them to the artichokes.
  • Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pour another tablespoon of oil into the bottom of the pan, add the potatoes and artichokes and arrange them so that they are well spread out.
  • Pour in the eggs and let them set over medium heat on one side, turn the frittata with the help of a plate or a lid and let the eggs set on the other side as well.
  • In a few minutes the frittata is ready.
