Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs' worth Egg whites
- 100 grams Pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Spinach leaves, fresh
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing all the ingredients. Dice the red bell pepper and chop the onion finely. Mince the garlic, chop the parsley, and trim any fat from the pork tenderloin before cutting it into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Move the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the pieces of pork tenderloin. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink.
Stir in the spinach leaves and low-sodium soy sauce. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about another 2 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they are slightly frothy. Pour the egg whites over the pork and vegetable mixture evenly.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Cook over medium heat until the egg whites are fully set around the edges, about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula and let it cook for another minute to ensure the inside is fully cooked.
Remove the omelette from the pan and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy savory pork omelette!
