How about some Chirizo in that Spanish omelette

Well, Steve, some people add chorizo, but I find it a bit too strong and too rich. In any case, small ones should be used not the one finds in supermarkets which is cut in rushes. Anyway some of the more usual variaties.
-Onion
-prawns
-peppers
-Serrano Ham (like Parma Ham)
-mixed vegetables
-Sparragus
But no one with cheese….I don´t know the reason

Omelettes are a bit bland, try some huevos rancheros for something with a bit of zing

2 low-carb tortillas
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons chopped red pepper (1/4 cup or 1/4 medium pepper)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (scant 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño pepper (about half a pepper)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup roasted red salsa
metric

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast tortillas 1 minute per side until brown in spots; transfer to a warm oven while preparing eggs.
2. Add oil, red pepper, green onions and jalapeño pepper to skillet. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, salt and pepper and sauté stirring occasionally, until eggs reach desired consistency.
3. Divide eggs on tortillas; gently roll up tortillas, and top with salsa. Serve immediately.

Well, Spanish omelette then, which is usually wrongly reinterpreted when cooked abroad. Although it admits hundreds of addings I post the plain one. Don´t think it´s easy. It requires a certain skill.
-Three medium size potatoes
-Three big eggs
-small garlic (I know, you British hate it. But a little bit gives full flavour)
-little milk
-parsley
-Salt
-olive oil. No substitutive for this. No sunflower, no fat, no butter. Only real olive oil, which is colesterol free
——————————-
-Mash the garlic and little parsley and add it the potatoes which had to be cut into
small pieces. Then fry them with the olive oil (not too hot) but with not intense heat. You need a soft potatoes mash, not crispy ones (so never intense heat). With a fork remove it quite often, and break the pieces into smaller pieces. When soft remove the olive oil from the pan and drip the potatoes using a pasta dripper. Leave some olive oil in the pan.
Beat the eggs, add a bit of baking powder and a little milk to the potatoes mash. Mix it well in a bowl, and put it into the pan again (don´t let the pan get too cold). Bring it to the fire, and leave it for a couple of minutes, then using a plate turn it over to cook the other side. Spaniards don´t use plates, we just turn it using the same pan and making it fly……but it´s quite risky. Ometelle should be cooked, but not too much because it gets too dry. So watch out. Enjoy it

Ingredients

5 eggs
5 tsp water
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tsp oil
125g/4oz Butlers Farmhouse Creamy Lancashire Cheese, grated
175g/6oz cooked potato, diced
4 tbsp baked beans

Method

Using a fork, beat the eggs, water and seasoning together in a jug. Heat 1tsp of oil in a large frying pan and pour in one quarter of the egg mixture to form a thin omelette on the base.

As the omelette starts to set, place one quarter of the cheese, potato and baked beans in the centre. Fold over the edges of the omelette to form a parcel. Cook over a gentle heat for about 2 minutes then carefully turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes or until the filling has heated through and the cheese has melted.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A CHEESE OMLETTE????? PLZ HURRY

Hurrying is probably not the best thing to do when making an omelette – or even when cooking in general.
Just hope his spelling and puctuation is better than this when he has to tick all those yes/no boxes…;) – Nermal
