WESTERN STYLE FOOD RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat together 3 of the eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside. 
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small non-stick skillet, with tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook, covered, without stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the ham and scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. 
• Melt a nut-sized piece of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add 1/4 of the pepper mixture. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until just cooked, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and, using the rubber spatula, smooth over the top of the omelette so that it evenly covers the inside of the skillet. If using the cheese, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons over the omelette. Let rest for 30 seconds until the omelette has set. 
• Using the rubber spatula, fold the omelette in half, and transfer to a warmed plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 omelettes in all. 

Steps:

• 1. Put the onion, garlic, water, salt and oil in a saucepan, stick on the lid and boil it fiercely for 6-8 minutes. Then remove the lid and continue to cook on a high heat until the water has completely evaporated and the onions are sizzling, very soft and starting to turn golden.

  2. Remove from the heat, spoon them into a mixing bowl and leave to cool. Add the egg, and a teaspoon each of soy sauce, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce.

  3. Add the mince and breadcrumbs then work everything together evenly with your hands. Divide into six x 220g portions, shape into burgers then refrigerate for a few hours before using if you have time. Either grill or fry as you prefer.
