There are Japanese onions 🌰 growing in the polytunnel
The beauty of growing your own chemical free vegetables is you can pick them before they are mature. You can not buy that freshness in a supermarket. Or can you? How long does it take for vegetables sugars turn to starches after being picked?
The Japanese winter onions were chopped up with the green stalks included and cooked for a few minutes and then mixed with the eggs and a omelette was cooked 🍳 for another few minutes.
It was delicious with a splash of Hot Wings sauce. It was on offer in Lidl for 1.49 a bottle last week.
Any one else like onion omelettes? Some times we make onion pizza. I first sampled onion pizza at the Night Of The Prog Rock music festival in Loreley in Germany in 2017. The bands were excellent and so was the onion pizza.
Our breakfast ingredients all came from where we live. We'll except for the spicy sauce that is. Any one got any omelettes recipes? The hot and spicier the better please?
That omelette looks eggcellent! I would pass on the hot spicy sauce though. Doesn't agree with my delicate digestion.
ReplyDeleteThanks JayCee. I do like homemade and home laid and homegrown ingredients for our meals. I suppose I am a bit eggs/extravagant with the hot sauce.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions for your omelette: I saute my onion with a spicy sausage. You can always chop a jalapeno or a Chile pepper to toss in the end. I cook the eggs in another pan. When they start to 'set', I put the sausage, onion and peppers on top and a couple pieces of pepper jack cheese and stick it under the broiler. Take it out and fold it. Yummo!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds excellent Anonymous. I have bought Doner kebabs in England and they have put green chillies on top if you want your kebab to been even spicier. Have you ever tried onion pizza? It's really different.
ReplyDeleteDo you carmelize your onions or simply marinade them?
DeleteWe just caramelise them for a few minutes.
DeleteWithout the sauce, it sounds perfect, I'm a lightweight when it comes to chillies and hot peppers. I'm hoping for some homegrown veg this summer, we already enjoy homegrown fruits, Marlene, Poppypatchwork
ReplyDeleteHi Marlene. That's the beauty of growing your own vegetables. You don't need to wait for them to mature to eat them. Small is tender and delicious.
ReplyDeleteI make onion omelettes and pizza . Tasty! Especially with your own home grown eggs and onions
ReplyDeleteWood fire pizzas are amazing. I suppose you can rustle up a pizza or omelette with anything you have in the garden or the fridge Linda?
ReplyDeleteWe love onion omelettes..and you are right, homegrown are best!
ReplyDeleteThey're great aren't they GZ? Homegrown, home laid and home made. You can't buy that freshness.
ReplyDeleteLike JayCee I do not associate omelettes with hot sauce. Sometimes I stick my omelette pan under the grill with silver paper wrapped around the handle to brown and raise the top surface of the omelette. I suggest that if you want your omelette hot you should pour in half a jar of Madras cooking sauce.
ReplyDeleteGood idea YP. I have made our own Indian pizza and posted it on here before. When I lived in England almost a quarter of a century a go. You could order: Mild, Medium and Hot. Especially when ordering kebabs and pizza. Over here it's just plain and lots of coleslaw and very little or no spice. I love food with a bit of umpth.
ReplyDeleteMayonnaise even.
ReplyDeleteI make onion omelettes quite often and I add grated cheese to the egg mix. I don't fold them though, I flip the omelette like it was a pancake and get both sides browned. No spicy sauce for me. Are your Japanese onions the same as what we call spring onions? Long and thin green stems, white at the bottom with a small onion bulb?
ReplyDeleteThanks River. Japanese winter onions are like ordinary onions in terms of size at harvest. Usually you plant them in September and harvest them around June. We are harvesting them when we want onions for a meal. We harvest lots of our vegetables when they are growing and before they reach maturity.
