Omelette du jour : green, gold, pink


A big big omelet !

That starts with a stir-fry with all the fridge l.o. Garlic, red onion, celery, negi leek, mizuna (stalks), chili pappers, boiled potatoes…

And eggs beaten with cut nira leaves.

Under there is a roasted crust. Over a creamy omelet.

Glossy omuraisu

When I saw the post of Nippon Nin (she is the Ambassador of Japanese family cooking in the US), I knew what my lunch would be… She made a deliciously looking omelet rice, also known as omuraisu. She gives you a detailed recipe.

You need leftovers of rice, eggs, whatever you get in the fridge to stir-fry with the rice. I had bits of pork and a few veggies.

Butter to flavor the omelet and the rice.

That’s it. It’s glossy on the first photo because I painted it with sweet chili sauce.

I had a little rice left as a side dish…

A cup of mizuna, to say I’ve eaten my greens…
Yummy !

The meal :

Another version with sauce :

omuraisu

Falafèves et omelette tomatine

Falafèves. They are kinds of fresh fava bean (broad bean) falafels. I make balls with ground raw (important, not cooked) favas, garlic, turmeric, salt. Stir-fried them.

falafeves (= ta’amiya)

The sauce is yogurt, lemon juice and a mix of random spices.

Not an effect of the photo, the omelet was copper orange. I whisked woughly the eggs with tomato juice, added salt and pepper, rolled it after cooking (without fat).

Baveuse inside. Mmmmmm !
