Fijian Potato Omelette image

This is supposed to be a breakfast recipe but we always use it as a side at dinner time. It has heaps of flavour and is an excellent "store-cupboard" recipe. Unfortunately my husband is a pertinacious pea hater so I always sub with another veggie - whatever is on hand, usually green beans, snow peas (they're different apparently), carrots or capsicum or a combination - this recipe is as versatile as you make it! From "Savour The Pacific".

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 pinch cayenne
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon gingerroot, peeled and minced
4 medium-large potatoes, peeled, diced and cooked
1 cup peas, thawed if using frozen

  • Heat oil in a large, heavy frypan and gently fry onion, spices, garlic and ginger over a low heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and mix in potatoes and peas.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl.
  • Add the spiced vegetables to the eggs and combine evenly.
