Omelette (dinda version)
This is a basic omelette recipe.
A nice omelette for 2 :4Eggs
Butter
Half a cup of fresh milk or 3 spoon
Cheese (2 sliced)
Salt (as your taste)
Direction :
1) In a medium size bowl, break the eggs, season with salt and add fresh milk , whisk energically with a fork.
2) Using a non-stick pan, melt down half of the butter.
3) Add the beaten eggs and stir quckly using a wooden spoon, in the same way than you would do to scramble eggs.
4) When it starts to make a compact mass (cook it to your liking), place your pan off the heat slightly on its side. Slowly lift the side of the omelette the clothest to you and slide 10g of butter (soft), and slowly let it come towards you all the way to the top of the side of the pan. Then put a cheese on the top of the omelette.
5) Now, you have the first half omelette that you are going to fold back on the top of the second part of the omelette. Using a palet knife cut off the right end as well as the left end of the omelette.
6) Place the part of the pan the furthest away from you on the edge of a plate, lift the pan upward then flip the pan* totaly over the plate, in this way the omelette will be "rolled".
Don't worry if you are not able to get it right on your first attempt.

I boil it all together until the 3/4 chicken is cooked. Then I remove the chicken and the carrots and place them in a buttered glass baking dish, and the butter really adds flavor so I put it on the dish pretty thick.
Sliced tomatoes and sliced onions and cover the chicken and tomatoes with them and put it into oven covered with alluminum foil for about 45 mins. Then I remove the cover and let everything brown.
While chicken is cooking in the oven I bring the water back to a boil and add my rice, let it boil for about a minute, and then i reduce the heat and cover until the rice is fluffy. Then I serve the rice on a huge platter with the chicken on top.
Served with cucumber and yoghurt salad with garlic and lemon to eat with the Khabsah rice. It's delicious!!
