Recipe - Spanish Omlette


This is a great, quick and easy meal, that made a fairly substantial meal for my husband and I. It probably took 20 minutes all-in to prepare and cook which was much appreciated after a long day at work! It's also really easy to customise to suit your preferences.

To make the omlette above you will need:
- 4 eggs
- Handful of pizza cheese (grated mozarella and cheddar mix)
- Small pack of cubed pancetta (60g)
- Handful of salad potatoes (cubed)
- 10 cm of chorizo (cubed)
- 1 onion (chopped into small cubes)
- 1 red pepper (cubed)
- Handful of button mushrooms (quartered)
- Mixed herbs

1. Parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes While they're boiling, beat the eggs with the cheese and mixed herbs in a small bowl and put to one side. Pre-heat your grill ready for the final step.

2. In an ovenproof frying pan, cook the pancetta and chorizo until golden and then add the onion, pepper and mushrooms. Cook until these are softened. 

3. Add the parboiled potatoes to the pan and make sure all the veg is mixed well before adding the egg mix. Let the contents of the pan cook for five minutes on a low heat and no matter how tempting - don't stir it!

4. Put the frying pan under the grill and cook until the top of the omlette is golden brown - this can happen very quickly, so don't be tempted to wander off and do the dishwasher!

5. Leave to stand for a couple of minutes before enjoying. We had it with some oven-warmed crusty bread but it would also be delicious with a side salad or some green veg.

I hope you enjoy - if you have any ideas for other fillings, why not leave them in the comments section?
