Breakfast

Breakfast Omelettes

These are basic omelettes with a variety of toppings. You could use the toppings listed below one at a time or combine them for variety.

Basic ingredients

2 eggs per person

1 tbsp milk or cream

salt and black pepper to taste

lard or butter for frying

Toppings

streaky bacon
cooked ham
mushrooms
Cheddar cheese
chopped lamb’s kidney
anchovies
shrimps mixed with cream
tomatoes
fried onions with grated cheese
herbs
flaked smoked haddock

Break the eggs into a small bowl, add the cream or milk and salt and pepper to taste, and beat until frothy. Melt the lard or butter into a frying pan and pour in the egg mixture. Cook over a moderate heat until it becomes firm. When the omelette starts to set, spread the topping onto it and continue cooking until the omelette is set. Fold in half and serve.

Toppings. The cooked ham should be cut small before adding and the Cheddar cheese grated before adding. The bacon should be cut into small pieces and fried first, the omelette mixture being poured over it.

Follow with a piece of fruit

Lunch

Chicken kebab made with a sliced, roasted chicken breast (with its skin) wrapped in a pitta with 50g (2 oz) feta cheese and salad.

Dinner

Kidneys à l’orange

Cut 4 sheep’s kidneys in half, lengthways, skin them if necessary (if using ox kidneys, cut into pieces). Melt 25 g (1 oz) butter in a deep frying pan or a saucepan, put in the kidneys and fry brown. Chop 1 shallot and 2 mushrooms small and add to the kidneys, season with salt and pepper. When these have fried brown, stir in 1 tsp flour and brown this. Pour in ½ pint stock and simmer for about 20 minutes, with the lid off to reduce the stock. Flavour with grated orange peel and serve hot on a buttered Almond and Parmesan pancake (Basic Recipe 1) or slice of buttered toast. Serves 2.

Dessert

Full-fat natural yogurt or cream and fresh strawberries

Total Carbohydrate: 45 g (65g if toast is eaten)
