In the spirit of Melinda’s #ConfinedSpring challenge(sort of), and
also using up some feta I had in the fridge that really needed using, last
night’s dinner was Pea, Feta and Mint Omelette (and chips, just because…)
There are no quantities to this, as it’s whatever makes you
feel good and you have available.
Put peas in a bowl (I used frozen, but fresh would be
awesome when we get there). Add some crumbled feta on top and I used some dried
mint because that’s what I had, but if you have fresh mint that would be
terrific.
(As a random aside, I remember making lamb and feta meatballs once
that needed mint. For some reason known only to himself, my other half had dug
up all my fresh mint - he had some ridiculous excuse about it running rampant! I had no dried mint, so I raided my tea cupboard, cut open a peppermint teabag
and mixed the leaves into the lamb. It worked a treat.)
Anyway, back to the omelette. I do four eggs for a two
person omelette – add eggs to the pan, let them cook for a couple of minutes to
brown the bottom, add the pea, feta and mint. Add more mint and some pepper if
you feel inclined. Let it cook for a couple of minutes more and then I stick it
in the oven because it’s on, to finish setting and get browned on top.
We ate three quarters of it (because I made too many chips...) and the last piece will get shredded
to go into tonight’s stir-fry. :)
Cackling at your peppermint teabag trick. Truly, you're well suited for cooking under pressure.
ReplyDeleteHah! I remember we had friends coming for dinner and I'm thinking what the hell, where has all my mint gone - it was there yesterday...
DeleteLot of fantasy! Very good!
ReplyDeleteIt really was very good!
DeleteOooh I have all these things including fresh mint. I might have to give it a go - thank you!
