Looks great. It would be helpful to note the size of pan in this case especially as it will dictate the thickness of the frittata.

I made this with soyrizo as a substitute for Mexican chorizo, but looking at the photos, it looks like it was likely intended to be made with chopped Spanish chorizo. It would be helpful to update the ingredient list to specify. The flavor was fine, but the soyrizo and eggs mixed together so the texture was not the best.

The flavors here are good. More precise info on amount of roasted red pepper and cook times would have been helpful. I used kale and it was good.

For the non- metric in here, 200 grams of chickpeas is 7 ounces, or about half of a standard can.

This was excellent. To use up what I had on hand, I substituted Hungarian kielbasa for the chorizo, and arugula for the spinach. I also added the garlic later in the process so it wouldn't burn. I made it in my 13" carbon steel skillet and used 6 eggs. Big hit. Perfect brunch dish.

Made this with soyrizo to make it vegetarian, and it was delicious! One of my go-to easy meals!

I have made this about 10 or 20 times now, it’s a staple in our household. I use more eggs and spinach with a large onion and it still fits in my cast iron skillet and make lot of leftovers! The feta is an excellent addition, so glad you shared this recipe!! Thank you!

I can't wait to try this in my frittata pan! I am a huge chorizo fan and this looks so tasty! Here is one of my favorites, Spanish tortilla: https://ethnicspoon.com/tortilla-espanola-spanish-potato-pie/

too much effort seems lol, roasted pepper, chorizo whats that? smoked paprika? how do i do this? I'm on tight budget right now this is all ingredients don't normally have, so more expensive, NEXT...lol but it sure does look good. besides don't buy store eggs, no such thing as free range, too much cruelty to chickens so until i find substitute for recipes like this or place to buy......

So find a different recipe instead of leaving a poor review? It sounds awesome to me, and they are very BASIC ingredients for a home cook.

This frittata looks irresistible! Love that it's only going to take me 10 minutes to put it together, would be even better if recipes could include their measurements translated between US and European.

I should have added more eggs! By the time I stirred eggs into the chickpea mixture they were basically scrambled. Next time I will use more eggs & just pour them over and maybe jostle them a little! Wonderful flavour here!

For the novice that I am, what does it mean to preheat the grill and set it under such? What temperature do I use in the oven? Broil?

I set it over medium heat on top of the stove and then put it under the preheated broiler in oven.

Unless a recipe states otherwise, I turn the broiler on its HIGH setting, 5 minutes before I need to use it (i.e. PREHEAT), and set the oven rack 5-6" below the heat element. I leave the oven door ajar and watch it like a hawk ... things seem to go from blond to burned in a nanosecond. (My son's new oven shuts itself off, when you leave the door open. Dislike!)

Made a quick version with jarred red pepper and canned chickpeas and it was still wonderful! Thank you for the delicious recipe. Definitely a keeper.

Brava! Halved the recipe, and took the labor-intensive way route (dried beans, soaked over night, yadda, yadda; roasted pepper/peeled pepper in oven, yadda, yadda) and it was a hit (and still easily prepared). Served with a green salad, and crusty bread for a beyond satisfying meal.
