Ingredients:

2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites lightly beaten with 1 tbsp. of water;

1 garlic clove, chopped;

½ small leak, chopped;

½ tsp. dried crushed chillies;

30g (1 oz.) unsalted butter;

4 pieces of sun-dried tomato, cut in half;

60g (2oz.) chorizo, cut into cubes or sliced into strips;

1 tsp. of fresh or dried oregano;

Salt and black pepper to taste.

How to Cook the Omelette:

Preheat the frying pan over a medium heat and add the chorizo, stir constantly until it starts to release the fat, then add the leek, chillies and garlic, continue to fry for 2 min till the leak becomes golden. Do not add any oil as the chorizo should release enough fat for cooking. Empty it all on to the plate and set aside. Wash the frying pan.
Melt the butter in the frying pan over a low heat, and then pour the egg mixture tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Cook until the eggs begin to set and then loosen with a spatula and tilt again letting the uncooked eggs to run to the side of the pan.
When the eggs are almost set, add the chorizo with the garlic, spring onion, chillies, oregano and sun dried tomatoes and fold over, and cook for another minute.
Season with salt and pepper and serve on a warm plate.
