Receta Egg “Noodles” with Yellow Tomato Sauce, So long…
The tomatoes aren’t stopping…. But no more red ones.
I had a very large, lovely yellow tomato and a bit of feta that needed a purpose.
These are noodles made from eggs. They’re basically a thin omelet, sliced into strips. I add a bit of flour to help make them a bit firmer. You could use regular flour or corn flour (cornstarch)
Egg Noodles with Yellow Tomato Sauce
TTotal time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
Noodles:
- 3 eggs,
- 2 1/4 tsp flour
- 4 1/2 tsp milk
- 2 tsp oil
- Sauce:
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 2 thin slices Prosciutto or other dry-cured ham, roughly chopped
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup (8oz, 240ml) peeled and chopped tomato
- 1/4 cup Greek or Kalamta olives, sliced
- 2oz (60gr) feta, crumbled
Instructions:
Sauce:
Heat olive oil in a small skillet. Add shallots, ham and sauté until shallots are tender.
Add tomatoes, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. Stir occasionally. It should be chunky and thick.
Stir in feta and olives.
Noodles:
Put eggs in medium bowl and whisk well.
Add flour, a little at a time, sprinkling it across the eggs, and whisking well after each addition.
Add the milk and whisk well.
Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet or omelet pan, 7 – 8″ (20cm) in diameter, over medium heat.
Add 1/3rd of the egg mixture, tilting pan to cover well. Let cook, undisturbed for 1 – 2 minutes, until cooked through and top is dry. With a spatula, carefully turn and cook on the other side for 30 seconds. Remove to a plate. Do not keep warm.
Repeat twice more.
When eggs are done, and cooled slightly, roll each up like a cigar and slice 1/4″ (.6cm) strips.
Divide strips in half and arrange on 2 plates.
Spoon sauce over and serve.
It used to be, back in the beginning of time, when we went somewhere I packed my clothes and make-up, grabbed a travel guide, a few magazines and we were off. The only electrical appliances I had were a hair dryer and curling iron.
I still take all of that, but…..
This morning I charged my phone, mon mari‘s phone, my Kindle, mon mari‘s Kindle, and the spare camera battery.
Then I packed all of the chargers.
I am drawing my line in the sand, however. I am not taking my laptop,
I’m going to gaze into shop windows, sit in cafes and watch people go by, meander through markets and indulge in wonderful (I hope) dinners.
I am not going to take photos of the food.
I’m going to disconnect from cyberspace and reconnect with Paris.
We’re taking the train up tomorrow for a few days of wandering aimlessly.
Our girl-dogs are spending their first night ever in the kennel. They have 2 nice rooms and a private garden to play in. It’s a wonderful kennel and I have nothing in the world to worry about.
I’ll worry anyway.
Separation anxiety.
Our house is awfully empty….
I keep taking these big steps to go upstairs then remembering Guapa is not sprawled across the foot of the staircase as usual.
I dropped my hand down to give Bonnie her usual 9pm belly rub and there was nothing but air.
I hope they get enough to eat and don’t get scared by themselves and, and, and……
Sigh…..
I’m also not scheduling any posts to magically appear while I’m gone….. So, my next post will be on Sunday.
Probably.
Maybe.
For all of you ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ fans: So long…. And thanks for all the fish.
