Tomato And Green Pepper Omelet Food

THE "RACHAEL" OMELET

Steps:

• Steam the broccoli, either in a microwave or steamer, until tender and reserve.
• Melt the butter in an omelet pan or small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, onions, peppers, and mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently until the onions soften and the tomato juices evaporate, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli to the pan and season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the vegetables. Cook until the eggs begin to set 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cheeses over the omelet. Cook until the eggs are no longer runny then fold the omelet in half. Raise the heat if the omelet is not brown. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, if necessary, then transfer to a plate and serve with whole-wheat toast and fresh fruit.

GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO CURRY

Steps:

• Peel the tomatoes if you can be bothered- I don’t as I think they add a little extra flavour!
• Cut the green pepper and tomatoes into large chunks- peppers about 1 inch squares and tomatoes into quarters.
• Or open tin if cheating!
• Heat the oil in a wide pan and add the cumin seeds.
• Stir about, then add the green pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, mashing them down as they soften.
• Add the salt, chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala and brown sugar.
• Stir well, then simmer, covered, for 7 minutes, or until the pepper are cooked to your liking.
• Best served at once.

GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Combine peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley in a bowl with your fingertips. Squeeze the juice of the lemon with the lemon half sitting upright. This will help prevent the seeds from falling into the bowl. The lemon juice will spill down over the sides of the lemon and the seeds will remain with the fruit. Squeeze the juice evenly over the salad. If the lemon is under-ripe, microwave it for 10 seconds before you cut into it. Next, sprinkle a tablespoon of vinegar over the salad -- just eyeball it. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, add the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss again. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve.

BELL PEPPER VEGETARIAN OMELET

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, if using. Vigorously beat together with a fork, incorporating as much air as possible. Reserve.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced onion, if using, and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until tender.
• Add the chopped peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or just until the bell peppers are slightly tender. Turn off the heat.
• Let the vegetables cool slightly, then add them to the reserved beaten eggs and combine well.
• Using several paper towels, carefully wipe off the skillet and place it back over medium-low heat.
• Add the butter and move the pan around to make sure the butter coats the entire bottom.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
• Tilt the pan as you lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked parts in the middle to flow out to the edges. This helps the eggs to cook quicker and more evenly.
• Allow your vegetable omelet to cook until the bottom of the eggs is solid but not brown at all.
• Using a rubber spatula, flip it over entirely and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring to a plate. Or, fold the omelet in half and slide it off the pan onto a plate. The interior should be moist but not raw. Cut in half for 2 servings and enjoy!

SPANISH OPEN-FACED OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and heat. Add the peppers and cook until they start to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
• Break the eggs into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk well. Add the eggs to the pepper mixture and stir constantly until curds start to form. Cook until the mixture has begun to set but is still fairly wet.
• Remove from the heat and scatter the olives and Serrano ham over the top. Place in the oven and cook for 5 minutes, or just it is mostly set, but still a little bit moist. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the basil. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and let sit for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
