Ratatouille is always great with an omelette!
For two, preparation:
OMELETTE: 4 eggs, a splash of water, finely chopped parsley, finely sliced garlic chives, a dash of curry powder, a good tbsp of ground turmeric, a bit of salt & pepper, and a good dash of Maggi sauce. Whisk altogether and occasionally, letting the flavours blend for at least 1/2 hour.
When ready to eat, sauter thinly sliced red onion (about 2cm long) in a good dob of butter and a tbsp of mild tasty oil (I used Macadamia) to keep it from burning, in a large skillet, then pour in the egg mixture. Pull up the edges and stir the middle a bit with a spatula, so that it cooks evenly. Sprinkle 1/2 of the area with a cheese of your liking (I used 'Extra Tasty' cheddar) and maybe cover the skillet for a minute or so, to help the cheese melt. When everything's firm or melted, flip the non-cheese half over the cheese half, to help the cheese melt.
Divide in two with your spatula, and serve hot with:
RATATOUILLE:
Sauter 1/2 a diced onion and a diced shallot (the purple kind, not 'spring onions') in more olive oil than you think you'll need. When soft, throw in an eggplant (peeled and chopped into 1 1/2cm cubes), and toss around. Cut a zucchini into 3-4mm slices, add and toss. Slice a green capsicum (bell pepper) into 2-3cm long slices ±5mm wide; add and toss. Dice 3 fresh tomatoes, add and toss.
Season with salt & pepper — I always use Maggi sauce, as well, for that 'umami' flavour — and herbs: basil, oregano, and any other Mediterranean herbs are nice. I usually throw in a splash of V8 juice, too.
Let simmer, until the veggies are getting soft — probably ± 1/2 hour, so don't start your omelette yet! — then add a tin of diced tomatoes (400g, 14oz), 3 good cloves of crushed garlic, stirring it around to blend the flavours, and letting it cook some more.
Continue to simmer, covered or uncovered depending on what you want the consistency to be like, until everything blends nicely.
Warm a couple of plates and serve...
