Pass the omelette, please!

Tonight was omelette night! Sometimes I am in the mood for breakfast food in the evening, as I find this type of food less stressful to make after a long day. And we all know I always have a case of the Mondays!

28. Elizabeth David's Tunny Omelette - *Toast*
29. Very Simple Vegetable Omelettes - *Toast*

I decided to make two different types of omelettes because I honestly can't stand tuna fish... It is one of the unmentionables that I find will be quite difficult to cook for this project. There are six tuna fish recipes, yikes! Thank god I have Rafa that loves tuna fish! So, I started on his omelette first!

I warmed some butter and oil in a pan and added chopped onions. When this was warm, I added lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and tinned tuna fish. I let this cook for a little bit and took it off the heat and put it aside into a bowl. I wiped the pan clean, heated it up again, and added barely beaten eggs. When the omelette was close to setting, I added the tuna mixture, and the omelette was ready to be served. I gave it to Rafa in a ciabatta loaf, as the man likes his bread! (He's not Jewish, and thus doesn't observe Passover.)

Rafa declared his omelette 'very good', which really means that it was excellent! Now, I wouldn't touch tuna fish with a ten-foot pole, but as long as he's happy and I could get through six recipes with his appetite, I'm happy too!

My omelette was just as simple. After washing the pan (thoroughly, from all the tuna fish elements!!), I melted some butter and added some sliced mushrooms. When they were sufficiently fried, I took them out of the pan and to the side, while I added some lightly beaten eggs to the hot pan. When the omelette was setting, I added the mushrooms and also some grated poorman'sgrana. (Tom didn't mention cheese, but since I wasn't eating bread I wanted a little treat for myself.)

The last part of the recipe just involved folding the omelette and serving it. Now my verdict: it was delicious!!! A lovely and simple dinner with minimal ingredients. A cupboard's dream.
