AN omelette is a common dish that can be prepared in many different ways. One of them is a Spanish omelette. Dan Baidhu, a chef with the Norwegian Embassy, recommends the dish for picnics. Baidhu adds that the dish is laden with calories and carbohydrates from potatoes and protein from eggs.
He says since the main ingredients in a Spanish omelette are eggs and potatoes, which are easy to digest, the dish is appropriate for those who are malnourished, have delicate digestive systems or are recovering from any illness and surgery.
INGREDIENTS
-500g of Irish potatoes
-3eggs
-1 onion
-5 tablespoons of olive oil
-Sea salt
METHOD
-Peel, wash the potatoes and chop into paper thin slices
-Chop the onion
-Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan
-Fry the potato on a low flame, turn them twice, add the onion and salt.
-Stir until they turn golden brown and tender.
-Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the fried potatoes and onions and mix well.
-Heat the remaining oil in a pan and pour in mixture. Cook the eggs on a high flame and then reduce the flame gradually to minimum.
-Do not stir, instead shake the frying pan to prevent the omelette from sticking to it.
-Turn the omelette over so that it becomes golden brown on both sides.
-Serve hot.
