Potato Omelet.

By Za



Alright!! Potatoesssss!!! 
Guys this is one of my favourite dishes!! it's delish and super easy to make!! but YUMMY!! 

Many people think Algerian eat Couscous like Middle Japanese eat rice! Well, small correction.. That is not the case. We don't eat Couscous everyday or every other day.. not even 3 times a week. The dish that Algerians might eat 3 times a week or wouldn't mind eating everyday (which is not the case, but let's say very often) is Chips Omelet 



Yes, I couldn't emphasize on it enough! Most Algerians wouldn't dare say no to this simple yet delicious dish. 

I don't own a good gas cooker. I've got two electric hot plates, that are far from being cutting edge. 
So, frying food isn't the best option one would pick with what I have... but I am Algerian.. how can I possibly live without Chips Omelet!

Well, if its not fried, its boiled. 

So get: 

• 3 medium potatoes or 4
• 3 or 4 eggs, 
• a big handful of parsley. 
• Salt 
• Oil
• 1/2 tbsp butter

Preparation: 

Peel and dice your potatoes, then bring to to boil. (don't forget to salt the water) 

Once boiled, drain them. 

In a big pan, put a table spoon of oil and 1/2 tbsp of butter. 

One heated, put your boiled potato dice in the pan. 

Break (or beat if you want) the eggs and add them to the potatoes. 

PS: DO NOT STIR . Just give the pan a little shake so the the eggs spread evenly. 

add the chopped parsley. 

salt a little and cover. 

When the eggs harden a bit, only then, can you stir, well not literally stir, with a flat plastic or wooden spatula bring the mixture slowly upide down. it's better than way so that your potatoes dont get mushy and all broken. 


Serve with Mortadella, or black olives, spring rolls too go nicely with it. 

Bsahetkom - Bon appetit- Enjoy

Another omelet!

By Youcef


Hello! Here comes another omelet for the lazy people!!! (like me :-P ) 


This one was inspired by Camille's and Reem's idea for recycling chicken leftovers! :-D

Alright, you'll need some... ermm... chicken leftovers! And of course, eggs, and cheese. (I used that kind of cheese used in sandwiches and burgers, you know, the one that's so thin it makes it almost look healthy! hihihi)




Put a frying pan on medium high if you're using an electric stove (medium low for fire/gas), then put just a bit of vegetable oil, just so it won't stick. 


In the meantime, mix up some eggs in a cup (I used 2, depending on how much chicken you're using), chuck in some salt, pepper, or anything of your liking. (No rat poison, don't listen to Aqeel if he tells you to do so)

 Put the chicken leftovers in the pan (those need to be shredded, you can do that by hand, as long as you don't eat every second piece as you do it, you'd be left with nothing I assure you), and spread the pieces evenly. 

Now the cheese, get the cheese, goooooooooo get the cheese! Ok, cut it into medium pieces and spread it on the chicken then pour the mixed eggs onto the whole thing! 

                      You're now ready to.... put the lid on the pan and wait. 

                         About 10 minutes later, it should be ready! (don't trust me, keep an eye on it >:->) 

Here's something to try too... Have a go and eat it with with croissants! Tastes awesome! :-D 

                   Cooked :-D .............. Gone :-D ............... *Burp* :-P

The Shadwell Omelette

by Youcef

This is THE Shadwell Omelette! 

Okey, this might not be a very healthy dish, and far from being original, but the reason I'am sharing this one is because it's a super cool omelette with loads of cool memories attached to it! Shadwell was were I used to live back in London, and this is a very simple omelette to make!

All you need are 

some eggs (duh! it's an omelette!)

some potatoes 

some herbs of your choice ( I usually use parsley or coriander... although mint also tastes good, but too strong if you put too much), mind you, coriander is the best! 

might also need a bowl, a fork and a frying pan (can't eat those! sorry)

Alright, now we can get started; chuck a couple of eggs in the bowl, a pinch of salt, chop some herbs in there and mix the whole lot using a four toothed stainless steel chrome utensil (ok ok, you can also use a fork)...

Once that's done, leave it to the side and fry some chips in the pan! (Oh and, for the lazy ones, like me, who don't want to bother with the all the dicing and frying of potatoes, just pop into any fast food place and get a portion of chips, no one would know, I promise, hihihi!)

Cool, that's done, now drain the oil out of the pan and replace it with the eggs you mixed earlier! OH AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, put a lid on the pan and put it on low/medium fire; that'll make the omelette cook nice and soft, without burning the bottom and without the need to turn it over! and VOILA!!!!

Yum yum! Get eating!

 And don't forget the mayonnaise!! 

Mahwish tried it!
