- salt
- pepper
Preparation:
If you are a lover of simple home cooking and like to experiment with authentic flavours, you cannot miss the opportunity to try the delicious Omelette with peas. But be careful, to get the most out of goodness, it is important to follow some essential steps.
First of all, you need to drain the peas well to eliminate the storage water and to ensure that they do not release too much liquid during cooking. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with a little salt and pepper, obtaining a homogeneous and tasty mixture. At this point, add the breadcrumbs and drained peas to the egg mixture, mixing well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
While preparing the egg and pea mixture, it is important to heat the pan with a knob of butter, without letting it burn, in order to create the right cooking base for the omelette. When the pan is hot, pour the egg and pea mixture, being careful to distribute it evenly over the surface.
At this point, it is necessary to brown the surface of the omelette in contact with the pan, using a spatula to check the cooking and ensure that the omelette is well compact. Once browned on one side, you have to turn the omelette with the help of a plate or a lid, to complete the browning on the other side as well.
Finally, when the omelette is golden brown on both sides, it is ready to be served hot. To harmoniously complete this tasty dish, I suggest you accompany it with an aromatic and intense red wine, such as a Monica di Sardegna or a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, which with their aromas of wild berries go perfectly with the fragrance of the omelette with peas.
I hope these tips have been useful to you and that you can enjoy an omelette with peas that is perfect in every detail.
Enjoy your meal!
