Ingredients

  • Eggs – 2
  • Potato – 1 medium
  • Capsicum – 1 small
  • Onion – 1 small
  • Tomato – 1 small
  • Olive Oil – 1- 2 tbsp
  • Pepper – ½ tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander leaves/Parsley – a handful

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the potato into wedges. Slice the onion, tomato and capsicum. Chop the coriander leaves/parsley.
  • Heat oil in frying pan. Place the potato wedges on the pan and fry till they turn a crisp brown.
  • Add the onion, capsicum and tomato. Sprinkle salt and pepper and cook till the onions soften, stirring occasionally. Remove the potato-onion mixture with a slotted spoon and allow to cool slightly.
  • In a bowl whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Add the potato-onion mixture and parsley/coriander to the beaten eggs and mix well.
  • Heat a teaspoon of oil in the pan. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and spread evenly.
  • Cook the eggs on medium-low heat till the omelette starts to come away from the edge of the frying pan, and looks to be about two thirds set.
  • Place a large plate over the frying pan and invert the pan – the omelette will “fall” onto the plate. Place the pan on the stove once again and add a little oil.
  • Slide the omelette carefully back onto the pan (along with any liquid egg) and cook the other side till the eggs are set and done. Do not overcook it – the omelette should still be slightly moist in the middle.
  • Remove and serve Spanish Omelette with salad.

Notes

You can add tuna, shrimp aubergine, mushrooms courgette or diced ham to the base ingredients.
