While I really fancied an omelette, I pictured lots of colour on the plate too. I think I managed it.
Omelette Ingredients:
Cooking does not need to be complicated. What is important for any meal is for it to be balanced. I am not a cook book kind of girl, I have no interest in following long complicated recipes as life is too short and, while it seems that lot of my life revolves around food because I talk about it, help people with it, cook it, take pretty photographs of it (as photography is my second passion) and then talk more about it – I actually do not enjoy it when process is too lengthy. I cook completely the opposite way most people do. Most people might think what they will have or what meal they would like to cook after they see a recipe, get ingredients and then cook. I, instead, buy food making sure I have dairy, meat, meat free options, grains, fruit and vegetables (so, all major food groups)… I open up a fridge and it almost as if talks to me: “Have this!”, “Try this”, “Have that!”. I like my meals to be delicious, I strive for balance and high nutritional content, but also I aim for as little cooking time as possible. In my world – this is a true WIN WIN.
I love the simplicity and nutritional density of a simple omelette, but I also love colour and vibrancy in my meal and sometimes, I just don’t want a cold salad on the side with my omelette, so, here is an idea… Just chop up as many veggies as you have whilst your whisk a couple of eggs with a couple more egg whites on the side (two eggs are just not enough for a protein requirement, unless you serve an omelette with some cottage cheese or a low-fat thick yoghurt) with some salt and pepper… Just lightly saute vegetables on a little oil for a few minutes, pour eggs mix and voila, within minutes you have a delicious omelette worthy of a king! Enjoy!
