Serves: 6
Ingredients for rice:

1/8 teaspoon of salt

2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided

Directions:
- To prepare wild rice: Combine water, rice and salt in a small heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the rice is tender with a slight bite, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain; you’ll have about 1 1/2 cups cooked rice.
- To prepare frittata: About 30 minutes after you start cooking the rice, beat eggs and egg whites in a large bowl, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
- Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat. Add onion and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add in bell peppers and squash and cook, stirring frequently, until they release their liquid and the pan is dry, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in the rice.
- Pour the reserved egg mixture evenly over the rice and vegetables. Partially cover and cook until set around the edges, about 5 minutes. Place the pan under broiler and broil until the eggs are set and the top is nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
