Definitely will try to make it tomorrow

Just the other day, my newlywed wife was looking for a way to "break in" the new Teflon frying pans that were purchased for us, from our wedding registry, by her Aunt. I suggested an omelet (the quintessential pan-shaped meal), and quickly went to it, but what I actually ended up preparing for breakfast was underwhelming, to say the least, mostly because we were out of any decent mustard and had to use French's brand. She didn't outright complain about the meal, but was withdrawn for most of the day and opted to read a Danielle Steele novel, alone, in the bedroom while I washed the dishes and scrapped the leftovers.

Seeking not to disappoint my wife twice (at least where breakfast is concerned), I logged onto Jaime Oliver's web site to view the web recipes there and today I surprised her in bed with the potato & chorizo omelet (with kinda parsley salad). Let me tell you, Mr. Oliver, I may be a bumbling klutz in the kitchen, but with your easy-to-follow recipes, even I can convince the wife that I possess some latent culinary competence.

Owing to my near-bare fridge, I excluded the 4 small waxy potatoes, and some other ingredients needed to be substituted, namely cut up Red Hots for the good-quality Spanish chorizo sausages and frozen Five Alive concentrate for the juice of 1 lemon. At any rate, my wife was so impressed with potato & chorizo omelet recipe (with kinda parsley salad) that she insisted I also enjoy half, and that we share the rest with our Labrador Retriever, Rusty. If only little Cumberland was old enough to eat solid food, this recipe would have truly been a family affair! Next time, I'll be sure to make a double serving.

Can I freeze a Sapnaish omelette? I live alone and would like to make snacks and lunch packs for the week to take to work.

i havent a clue how to make an omlette how bad is that .im great and cooking otherwise just cant make an omlette.need a good easy recipe please and this one sounds fantastic.just nervous abput cooking it how sad ay.

dam mrs oliver
gr8 recipe

ps. gordan ramsey sux!!!

I have been making a version very much like this for many years - adding gently sauteed peppers and/or courgettes also make this a healthy and very satisfying meal. Love your recipes Jamie, long been a fan, especially love to 'tweek' the recipes to ring the changes.

i am gonna try this 2nite usually when i do spanish omellete i slice the potatoes and fry them in a frying pan . thats the way that i was taught by my grandmother who is spanish. so it will be a bit weird pre boiling them first. and putting it in the oven/grill but i will give it a go.

Yum, my most favorite omelette!
I like to cook the shallots and parsley in the pan with the potato and chorizo, though. :0)

Well done James!!!! easy and delicious.
Many thanks

This was delicious it was very yummy
