What is it that makes someone sad or low down when it has all necessities covered? Is it the weather? Is it a bad feeding? Is it... is it... What's wrong with me today? I have everything I need, I'm in good health, nothing is wrong in my life... but still, I feel low down.Today is a grey and cloudy day. I should be happy because it's been raining lately and our water reserves have improved. I should be happy today because I will go to the supermarket and fill my fridge and tomorrow will go to the market and fill my pantry. I should be happy because I am healthy and so is my family. See? I just give for granted all these things, but one day you have it all and the next you don't. My thoughts and heart are with all the Chinese and Burmese people suffering the consequences of the devastating earthquake and cyclone.
I should be grateful for the life I have! So, with this in mind, let's prepare a dish that will give my body chemical strength and will help me see the bright side of life!
Therefore the special dressing today is: Always look at the bright side of life, from Monty Python (turn player on)
Ingredients for 4 servings: 2 butifarras (catalan pork sausage), 300 grs of fresh spinach, 50 grs of pine nuts, 4 big eggs, 1 onion, salt and olive oil.
- Pour some olive oil in a new saucepan, when it's hot, add the butifarras that you have emptied before and fry the meat, when golden, add the pine nuts and after 1 minute add the chopped onion.
- In a pot with some salty water add the clean spinach and let boil for 2 minutes. Strain and reserve. Make sure you take all the water away.
- Meanwhile beat the eggs in a big bowl and add some salt.
- When the onion is transparent and soft, add the spinach and stir for 30 seconds. Take all saucepan ingredients and put them in the eggs bowl. Make sure you leave the oil in the pan.
- Stir the mixture.
- With the help of a strainer pour the oil of the sauce pan in a cup. Clean the sauce pan and add the oil back. Make sure all the surface is oily and add the eggs mixture with medium heat.
- Spread the omelet evenly in the sauce pan and cook while shaking a bit the pan so that it doesn't get adhered to the surface. After 2 minutes aprox, and with the help of a big plate flip the omelet upside down and cook the other side.
We like it a bit juicy in the inside... MMmmmmm and also we prefer it cold or at room temperature. The bunch of ingredients used to cook it will surely cheer you up and give you strength for a "hard-day-blogging"!!! ;-)
I'm sending this recipe: Butifarra's Omelette to Kalyn's kitchen and her famous weekly event: Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted this week by Cate from Sweetnicks
Spinach are supposed to give your body strength because they are rich in iron. Pine nuts will give your brain some extra energy to face a hard day and will be good for your heart. Onion will help your blood circulation system and the eggs and pork meat will supply you with proteins.
What else do I need to feel fortunate in this world? :D
