Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Rinse the barberries and soak for 5 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Whisk the eggs with turmeric, salt, gluten free baking powder and gluten free flour until smooth.

  3. 3

    Stir in all the herbs, spring onions, walnuts and barberries. It should look like more herb than egg.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a 24 cm ovenproof frying pan. Pour in the mix and cook on low for 5 minutes until the base is set.
