Small frittatas with tomato sauce were the snacks that my mother made with the first tomatoes of the season. The frittata was cooked in the oven, a tradition handed down from mother to daughter. Best to enjoy freshly baked. They are also nice cold, cut into cubes and served as appetizers like Spanish tapas.

Suggested pairing, Roditis 2022, by the Greek Tetramythos winery for its decisive, mineral sip, with intense acidity and for the good persistence of the olfactory taste reminiscent of medicinal herbs. For the full review click here.
