I got the idea for this one from a very lovely lady I've been talking to this week. My mind had been blank as to what to do for dinner on Tuesday and she mentioned omelettes, upon which I recalled that I had three dozen eggs on the kitchen worktop.
So what I did was to pour hot water from the kettle over some sliced savoy cabbage and leave that to wilt in its bowl for a bit, while I cooked onions, tomato, kangaroo steak and fava beans together, adding the cabbage once the meat was browned:
Then I beat together six eggs in the bowl that the cabbage had been in, and after mixing some seasoning (salt, pepper, oregano) into the stuff in the pan, I tipped the egg in and let it cook until it turned into a nice omelette.
It was of course then that I remembered my grill doesn't work, as my instinctive next step was to cook the top under the grill. So instead, I improvised by just putting the lid on the pan and letting it cook on a low heat for a bit, until I was satisfied that the top was done.
The ingredient here with the most food miles to it would be the Hodmedod fava beans, all the way from Suffolk - the rest is 100% Lincolnshire :)
And now I've got that assignment out of the way, I've got to catch up on the course reading and prepare for the next one in a month's time. But I've a little more breathing space at least, so I can post here a bit more, hopefully.
