Sweet Chilli Veg and Salami Omelette
I saw this recipe in the April issue of Good Food and I thought “OOOOHHH” interesting. The issue came with all sorts of toppings but thought I’d try this one beacuse it had the least calories. I think what I liked most about it is how quick it came together, in less than 10 minutes I had a meal on my plate and a quite filling one at that. I think this would make a good hangover meal or on one of those nights when you just cannot be bothered to cook or even a lazy Sunday afternoon. Well hope you’ll like it. HAPPY COOKING!!
OOOH and please forgive me for the poor quality photos :-/
Ingredients
- 150g pack of stir fry vegetable mix
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
- ¼ teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and white pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of salami, diced
- 25 g grated cheddar
Instructions
Cook the stir fry veggies with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or wok on high heat for about 2 mins
Add the salami. Add the spices, soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a bowl and cook in another large pan.
Tip the veggies mixture onto the surface of the omelet before it completely sets then sprinkle the cheese on top
Roll up then drizzle with sweet chilli sauce
Work very fast so as to avoid over cooking the egg like I did
How to: Make (almost) perfect sausages
So my gal liz has a theory about people who make shrivelled sausages for breakfast but unfortunately that reason is a bit too PG for me to explain on here J I have come to notice, during my many visits to peoples’ homes, that many people don’t know how to make good sausages! Many people either cook the outside too quick then the sausage itself is under cooked or they over cook, or they thaw the sausage wrongly or use too much oil etc etc. So today il tell you the how to’s of making good sausages.
So…
- Thaw the sausages for a few hours before you cook them, if this is not possible put them in warm water for a while or use the defrost option in the microwave. DO NOT microwave it as you could easily start cooking them
- Use very little oil
- Do not completely heat the oil before you put the sausages
- Use VERY little heat the lowest you can
- Be VERY PATIENT and you will get (almost) perfect sausages.
Here is how I made my two sausages
I defrosted the sausages completely in water, then patted them dry
Put on the heat and lower the flame completely (use the lowest possible heat)
Put 2-3 tablespoons of oil in the pan and heat the oil for about 1 mins then put in the sausages
Cook until one sides begins to brown then turn the sausage
Keep turning the sausages till it all turns into an even browned colour

BREADLESS BLT SANDWICH
When I first read about the BLT sandwich on a menu a couple of years ago in a coffee shop I REALLY wondered what this people were on about. I’m from the village so you can’t blame me for taking a minute to get what BLT stood for, when I finally got it I wondered why on earth could they just not call it a simple…BACON, LETTUCE AND TOMATO sandwich?????? Anyway, I’m done with my bickering. Anything that has bacon in it tastes great so the original BLT is tasty so when I saw this over on Pinterest just over a week ago I had to try it. It was AMAZING…..it’s always interesting the recipes the girl over at SkinnyTaste comes up with. It was like a really tasty, refreshing, healthy yet decadent salad. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. HAPPY COOKING!!!
