SMOKED TROUT FRITTATAS
There isn't much in the way of food that tart, citric, sometimes spicy and often refreshing Austrian rieslings can't handle with aplomb. Spring's challenges, like artichokes, asparagus and salads, would not daunt them. Nor would eggs. In fact, the whiff of sulfur up front in some of the wines suggested eggs.Here's a simple brunch or lunch preparation suited to entertaining. Individual frittatalike mixtures, inspired by the Spanish tortilla of eggs, potatoes and onions, with the addition of smoked trout, are baked, not fried. They can be made up to an hour in advance and reheated or even served just warm. A salad is all that's needed alongside, and do not hesitate to toss in some asparagus or artichokes.

SPRINGTIME FRITTATA WITH MORELS & ASPARAGUS
At our farm we grow all the things we love! Asparagus is one of those things. We also get to hunt morel mushrooms in the woods on our farm in Spring. It's the season I look forward to the most, though I have to admit Summer tomato season ranks right up there! Morels are a once a year treat and if you have access to them try...

Steps:
- 1. Set the oven to 350. Heat a well seasoned,12 inch, cast iron pan to hot. Add enough butter to the pan to at least coat the bottom, more if you love butter like I do! Keep the cast iron pan on medium heat. Add the potatoes and stir for a minute or two, so they don't stick. Keep stirring as you add the onions, cook onions to translucent. Turn the heat down a little. Add the morels and asparagus and cook until asparagus are slightly tender (they'll finish in the oven). remove from heat. Remove sautéed veggies to a plate or bowl.
- 2. In a 4 cup measuring cup (or bowl) place the lightly whipped eggs and whisk in cream. Stir in cheese. Pour this mixture to the cast iron pan. Stir in your sautéed veggies. Place cast iron pan in heated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is lightly golden browned, or as browned as desired. Removed from oven, cool slightly and flop frittata out onto a cutting board to slice.
- 3. Serve immediately; frittata is best warm. Leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together until completely smooth. Set aside.
- Heat an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil; heat for a few seconds. Add the fennel and shallots; cook until the fennel has softened, 3 minutes. Season with the salt and add the tomatoes and trout; cook for another minute. Pour the egg mixture over the trout and let cook undisturbed for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, lightly scrape the bottom of the pan to bring up some of the cooked egg. Repeat 3 times. Evenly spread the mixture in the pan--the top will still be liquid--and dot the top with the basil and goat cheese.
- Broil until the frittata is cooked through and lightly browned on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
ROASTED ASPARAGUS FRITTATA
Asparagus begs to be roasted; this recipe was developed after roasting a couple pounds and using them in a bunch of different dishes over a few days. This was the favorite, and frankly, the uber-favorite was this in a sandwich. More spring recipes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the asparagus is lightly charred and tender, about 12 minutes. (You can let the asparagus sit at room temperature for hours, or refrigerate overnight.)
- Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, half the chervil (and half the cheese, if you like). Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths and arrange in a single layer in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Drizzle with more olive oil and set over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus. Use a spatula if necessary to make a round frittata. Cook until nearly set, tilting the pan and lifting the edge of the set egg to let the liquid egg flow underneath, about 4 minutes.
- When the top is almost dry, flip the frittata onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan. Let cook for just a few seconds, then flip out onto a plate. Alternatively, use an ovenproof pan and put it in the oven or under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle with the remaining chervil (and cheese if you are using it) and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

SMOKED TROUT LINGUINE WITH ASPARAGUS AND LIME
They make the most amazing smoked trout here in Costa Rica and I've been looking for ways to use it other than as an appetizer. This is my take on a smoked salmon pasta dish I had once-upon-a-time! Note: this would probably be better with lemon, but they're almost impossible to find here. Let me know if it's an improvement!

Steps:
- Steam the asparagus until tender and still bright green, about five minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Dry on paper towels.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt, pepper, milk, asparagus, smoked trout and chives.
- Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles, pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, lifting the edges of the omelet to let the eggs run underneath during the first minute or two of cooking. Turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet) and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. Loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden spatula while tilting the pan from time to time, so that the bottom doesn't burn. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
- Finish the omelet under the broiler for one to two minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large, round platter, and cut into wedges or diamond-shaped pieces. If serving the next day, cover with plastic and then foil. Refrigerate overnight.
