THE LEFTOVERS

This is the continuation of my previous blog. I say the continuation because this recipe uses up the food left over from yesterday’s recipe. Really I made another delicious, quick and healthy meal for two from the leftovers. Yes, another fresh meal and completely different from yesterday! Ha ha I love how thrifty and enjoyable it can be creating a new recipe from the old one, the leftovers!

Remember my recipe that I placed in my previous blog? Yes, that was the spaghetti with the spinach, (you can see it in my previous blog).

Here’s what I did. I had leftover sautéed minced chicken  and some cooked spinach, and so I decided to make a scrumptious juicy omelette, and it was really delicious.

Here’s the recipe:

Well, making the omelette is so easy

Beat 4 eggs, with a pinch of salt, dash of white pepper and dash of pimiento dulce, and a tablespoonful of fresh milk.

Brush the bottom of the pan (23cm) with oil. Heat the pan and then cover the bottom of the pan with half of the egg mixture.

Place the minced cooked chicken, approx 3 tablespoons, in the center of the egg mixture (leaving enough portion to be folded over lapping). Then spoon the cooked spinach on top of the cooked chicken.

At this point, I sprinkle grated cheese on top, then fold one side of the cooked omelette toward the centre, followed by the other side, enclosing the centre completely. At this point you can easily turn the omelette and cook on the other side.

I served it hot with mash potatoes and buttered carrots and slices of green pepper.

The mixture of spinach, eggs and chicken with melted cheese is so yummy!

Tip: If you want a juicy omelette, always mix some milk to your  beaten eggs.
