Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 100 grams green olives (pitted and sliced)
- 50 grams black olives (pitted and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the whisked eggs. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs and spices.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the green and black olives to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to release their flavor.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the olives, spreading it out evenly.
Allow the omelette to cook over medium-low heat for about 4-5 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula (or fold it in half if flipping is difficult) and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through.
Remove the omelette from the skillet and cut it into wedges for serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread, a side of salad, or Moroccan mint tea for a complete meal.
