Start with the mushrooms

Add the olive oil to a medium high pan. When the olive oil is hot, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions become slightly softened.
To the pan of onions, add the mushrooms and sauté for about 7 minutes or until the mushrooms become browned and reduced in size. Add the garlic and the parsley and sauté for about a minute or until the garlic is fragrant. Turn off the heat and set aside.

For the egg tortilla

Whisk the eggs in a bowl until they are blended. Add a pinch of pepper and the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Cook the egg slow and low until there is no longer any wet egg on the surface. Slide the egg off the pan and set aside on a piece of parchment paper.

Add the thin cut steak to a bowl or Ziploc bag. Add the garlic and onion powder along with the soy sauce and olive oil and mix well letting the marinate sit for about 5 minutes.
Add about a teaspoon of olive oil to a medium high pan. When the oil is shimmering, add the steak and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the steak is cooked through.

CURRIED EGGS

INGREDIENTS
6 boiled, peeled omega-3 egg
4 chopped tomato
2 finely chopped onion
4 sliced & slit green chilli
1 inch peeled, sliced ginger
3/4 teaspoon powdered turmeric
3/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon tamarind paste
1 handful curry leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
100 ml Greek yoghurt
1 handful chopped coriander leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and fry them for few seconds. Once they start to splutter, add the onions and sauté until they turn slightly pinkish in hue.

2. Now add the cinnamon and chopped green chillies. Fry for a minute or two. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Add the ginger, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and stir-fry for a minute. Cook these spices until the oil starts to separate. Add the tamarind paste and 1 cup of water. Simmer for a minute or two.
4. Add the yoghurt and curry leaves. Stir well and simmer for a minute. Add the eggs and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes over low heat. Stir gently ensuring the eggs stay intact. Garnish with coriander leaves. To make the garnishing more aromatic, fry curry leaves, crush and add it to the egg recipe, this makes it even more delicious and flavoursome. Serve.

If you tried my Christmas joint poached in stout. Do not throw out the liquid left behind. This will make a tasty stock.

Just let it cool and remove any visible fat.

Use a little of this to poach a couple of eggs. I use my Omega 3 eggs.

We are allowed 2 eggs yolks per week and I like to save mine up for these little delights.

Any remaining stock can be frozen or used in stew etc.

Add tomatoes and cook them slightly.
Sauté and add cumin seeds. Mix.
Cool the mix and add ginger and green chillies to that.
Grind this cooked mix.
Heat 2tsp of olive oil and add the whole spices, sauté on low heat for a few seconds for the spices to release their aromatic oils.
Add the ground mix. Mix properly and add turmeric, red chilli powder and coriander powder
Let the gravy release the oil around the edges and then add about 2 cups of boiling water to make a thick gravy. Add the boiled egg and let the curry simmer for 10-12mins.
Serve hot.
