Instructions
1
In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil, and cook the potatoes for 7-8 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook, turning occasionally for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Transfer the chorizo to a plate.
3
Add the drained potatoes to the pan, cooking and turning occasionally, for another 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown.
4
Return chorizo to the pan with the potatoes. Add the ham and spinach, cooking and tossing for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
5
Whisk together the eggs and green shallots in a small bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper.
6
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, reducing heat to low, and tilting the pan to distribute the eggs evenly. Let the frittata cook for 4-5 minutes until set around the edges but still runny in the center.
7
Preheat the grill to high, and place the pan under the grill, cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the frittata is golden brown and just set.

In a separate bowl, combine the rocket, chives, and shaved parmesan cheese to prepare the salad.
