Spanish Omelette

Come make a chaotic, recipe-less Spanish omelette dinner with us! Natasha, my adventurous partner, decided to push me out of my comfort zone and into the realm of improvisational cooking. When I first started cooking in college, recipes were my lifeline. They provided not only a reference but also a magical opportunity to eat like someone else. Following a recipe transported me to another table, allowing me to imagine that two people, far apart, were sharing the same meal.

Food has an incredible power to create connections. When you eat something that someone else has eaten, you feel linked in an almost cosmic way. It's a beautiful thing to experience, and it highlights the universality of food. As I've grown older and more experienced in the kitchen, my perspective on recipes has evolved. I now see them as guides, offering suggestions on what you can do with a dish. Instead of following them to the letter, I view recipes as challenges, inspiring me to make each dish my own.

Now, to be honest, this isn’t the most accurate recipe. It honestly threads the line between a frittata and a Spanish omelette but we don’t judge and nor should you! I hope you try out this recipe and as always, happy cooking!

Ingredients

6 eggs

1 medium onion, diced

2 medium potatoes, boiled and diced

2 cups of mushrooms, roughly chopped

2 teaspoons rosemary

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon of veggie oil

Method

1. Start by adding your oil to a stainless steel pan on low heat. Add onions and potatoes and cook off until you get some color on both sides and your eggs turn translucent.

2. Add mushrooms and cook off to your desired doneness. I like to get a good char and cook for about 6 minutes

3. In the meantime, whisk your eggs with salt, rosemary, red chili powder, garlic powder, milk and mix well.

4. now add the eggs stir well and place it in the over at 160 celsius for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can just cover the pan and cook until the egg turns firm.

5. Slice like a pizza and enjoy!
