Fast food dishes by Garden Chef: Mackerel - veggie omelette


Oh, no, it's almost 8:00 am!!! No more time for another snooze :((  This is one of those days when I don't feel like getting up from bed but I have no choice. I have just begun to feel the stress of office work for the past weeks. Yesterday was another lazy day. No marketing, no cooking... just blogging in bed! :)) 

Okay, now I'm off my bed. So what happens next? You gotta be fast!!!!! Any idea brewing? Let the countdown begin!


Opening the cupboard, I see a large can of 555 Mackerel Salmon style. 


Are there eggs? 
Yes, I still have six pieces. 
Take out three. 
Open the can of Mackerel. One onion coming. 
Then the veggie bin, of course! 
Let's see... I have tomatoes, green bell pepper, carrot and leeks from among the other vegetables. Let me take one large tomato. 
Cut a piece of leek from the stalk, take out the green bell pepper and the remaining carrot.  

Now, I'm ready! Did you get the ingredients? Don't worry, I'll summarize them for you. Here...

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, sliced
1 large can of mackerel salmon style, cut into chunks
1 small carrot, sliced into strips
1/2 small green pepper, diced
3 medium eggs, beaten 
pinch of salt, ground pepper, any spice of choice 
1 tbsp leeks (or green onions), sliced thinly 



Steps:
  1. In a skillet, heat some of the oil from the can of mackerel. Saute onions and Mackerel chunks.
  2. Add carrots. Allow to simmer.
  3. Add tomato slices and bell pepper. 

    4. Add salt, ground pepper and other spices to beaten egg.
    5. Pour egg mixture to sauteed mackerel mixture in pan, turning pan left and right to mix the egg         evenly over the mackerel mix. Allow the egg to settle in very low fire.


    6. Once the eggs have settled, top with leeks and serve with toasted bread or with fried rice.

Here it is...


It does look like pizza. By the way, for the spice, aside from ground pepper, I used Garam Masala, a spice I bought during our recent trip to Malaysia. 


Have a great week ahead! Oh, I'm looking forward to two holidays this week. More rest days :)) Thank you, Lord!

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is... Ingredients: 2 tbsps reserved oil from bottled sardines 2 tbsps olive oil 1 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup diced tomato 1 cup flaked Spanish sardines 1/3 cup Pesto sauce 1/4 cup pitted black olives 1/4 cup button mushrooms 1/2 kilo pasta noodles, cooked according to package instructions salt and pepper to taste Whole pieces of Spanish sardines (1 piece as topping per serving) Parsley for garnish   Steps: In a large saute pan, heat oil from sardines. Add olive oil as needed. Saute garlic until fragrant. Add diced

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
