Omlette

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of margarine
1 teaspoon of coriander (or a few sprigs of fresh coriander)
1 teaspoon of chives (or a few sprigs of fresh chives)
1 chopped onion
3 eggs
3 cloves of garlic
a pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil and margarine in a frying pan:

Peel and chop 1 onion - red onion is not so strong




Peel and crush 3 cloves of garlic



Fry the onions and the garlic in the pan:
Pick and wash some fresh coriander, parsley and chives

Coriander:


Parsley:


Chives:

roughly chop


add to a mixing bowl

Add Three eggs



And whisk



Add the pepper

And whisk
Pour the mixture in to the pan





wait for about 30 seconds then go round the edge with a spatula


lift a bit of the side up so that some of the mixture from the middle flows in to the pan - keep doing this around the pan:



check the middle of the omelet, make a hole, so the egg mixture hits the pan



- when the middle is not so runny - fold over the omelet


Press down and squeeze out any remaining mixture, and leave for about a minute to cook



Cut the omelet down the middle


Flip both halves over





Press down and cook for a further minute - it should be golden brown
