Spanish Omelette
Posted by gigdiary on December 9, 2009
Angela PJ, she’s on twitter if you haven’t met her, said my blog was ‘heavy going’. I agree, it is. It’s not a fluffy beer and skittles site. It’s a meat and potatoes site, with all the grist of the mill. However in order to attract readers like Ange, perhaps I should add some content that appeals across the board.
A recipe for instance. I posted this one on twitter today, so no doubt you’ve already tried it out, and enjoyed it. For those that haven’t here is a four step process to this culinary delight.
Pour glass of cheap Chablis.
Chop one onion, large is best.
Taste test raw onion, quickly gulp Chablis.
Thinly slice one large potato.
Re-taste Chablis, turn on TV.
Wait till Neighbours is over and watch 7pm Report.
During first ad break throw potatoes into copious serving of olive oil.
Sneak a slice of onion and a gulp of Chablis.
Return attention to TV, guffaw at Charlie Pickering, perve at Carrie, feel sorry for Hughesy.
Second ad break add onions to the pan. By this time the Chablis will require re-tasting.
Whisk two eggs, pour over veges, remove very quickly from pan. Add salt and pepper.
Top up wine, turn off TV and savour your culinary achievement.
Saluté

Thanks for trying to attract “readers like me”.

This is very close to the traditional recipe that I learnt. For maximum authenticity you must be unemployed.

Jon, thanks for that timely reminder. Unemployment is indeed an important ingredient.
