Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs
  • 200 g potatoes
  • 80 g leeks, gren leaves only, chopped finely
  • 170 g red and yellow pepper, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Salt, pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Don’t peel the potatoes, because a lot nutrients is in the skin and flavour will be the same.
    • Chop potatoes in half or quarters, depending on the size. Slice them to the thickness visible on the first photograph above.
    • Pour olive oil in a preheated non stick pan. Place the sliced potatoes in the pan, as the potatoes will take the longest to cook.
    • When potatoes start softening, add sliced peppers adn after a while, chopped green leeks.
    • Keep turning to make sure that the vegetables won’t burn.
    • When vegetables are soft, especially the potatoes, you can break 6 eggs into a bowl, with a pinch of salt and whisk them. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. You can also season a bit the veggies, according to your taste. If you like spice, you can even add a Spanish smoked paprika powder.
    • The whisked eggs go in the pan with the vegetables. Move the vegetables a bit, so the egg reaches fully the bottom of the pan.
    • Fry the omelette on low, covered. You need to be careful, because often it might start burning on the bottom before the top is set.
    • Turning the omelette over. Now, when the bottom of the omelette is ready and the top is not fully set yet, you need to make a bit tricky but doable operation of turning the omelette up side down:
    • - Take a plate that will fit in the pan.
    • - Take a plate that will fit in the pan.- Cover the omelette with a plate that is put up side down in tha pan.
    • - Holding the plate with right hand, quickly turn over the pan, holding it by the handle with the left hand. Omelette is now on the plate.
    • - Now just slide the Spanish Omelette back in the pan, to finish frying the other side. This won’t take long.
    • To serve, place a clean plate again serving side down on the omelette that is in the pan and turn it over.
    • Serve on its own, as a tapas, or with a Low FODMAP simple salad.
