Fritata Omelette Thing

It's not Nouvelle Cuisine !

I do seem to specialise in "not very photogenic" creations, such as this omelette / fritata monstrosity.

And there's not even a recipe as such - the ingredients vary with whatever you have in the fridge / cupboard.

Chop main ingredients into thumbnail-sized chunks, for example
bacon
mushroom
potatoes
onions
peppers
sweetcorn
Lightly fry these ingredients to your taste,
Mix up three eggs, with splash of milk, salt n pepper
Add to frying pan, letting the mix will in between the chunk bits
Let the eggs set, without moving things around much
Add some grated cheese on top
Stick frying pan under a hot grill until eggs are set, and cheese is yummy.
Serve with toast & butter, and a glass of wine.

Repeat twice more at 10-minute intervals, then leave in the bowl for 45 minutes. Wipe the worktop, dust it with flour then pat the dough into a rough oblong. Roll it up tightly, pinch each end to keep it neat then place seam-side down on a floured tray. Alternatively, place carefully in a greased and floured tin. Cover with a cloth and leave for 45 minutes or until the dough has expanded by a h...

Stovies - The Scottish Comfort Food

Stovies. It's a Scottish thing, you wouldn't understand. There nothing much to look at. OK. They look horrible...more of a medical condition than haute cuisine , but it doesn't matter. They just so damned comforting. Simply potatoes slowly cooked, with any left over root veg and gravy and scraggy bits of roast beef. Served with a glass of cold milk. Nom. A traditional end to a night of boozing, when I was a youngster.
