Spanish omelette

I once saw this recipe on BBC Food, but added a bit more here and there to improvise it a little further. Totally good if you want to have a relaxing, leisurely breakfast in the morning. And not a hassle to make either.


4 eggs
2 small potatoes
2 green chillies
1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 tomatoe
a small bunch of corriander leaves
dry basil
2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
one lime
toasted brown or bran bread

Beat the eggs together. Heat the oil in a frying pan and peel and slice your potatoes thinly. Fry them on high heat until almost done. Cover the pan. Chop the onion, chillies and garlic roughly and add to the potatoes. Stir and cover again. Add the eggs now and turn the heat on medium. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add some of the chopped corriander and basil on top and the tomatoes as well. Cover. The eggs should be done when the top side looks set but still soft enough. Remove from flame. Cut into triangular pieces, sprinkle some lime juice and serve with toasted bread of your choice. Garnish with chopped corriander.
