Papaya sauce with vegetables

,

For the ‘friends’ recipes‘ section, I am sharing with you a tasty recipe that Cecilia sent us: Papaya sauce with vegetables. It is a great idea to accompany tortillas, but also to top crackers and bread. In short, a perfect hunger-breaker or a tasty aperitif to propose to friends.

And don’t be misled by the fact that the main ingredient is a fruit: the sauce is savoury and perfect for stimulating your appetite! This sauce is also great to be served with cheese and, why not, with my beloved Pinzimonio.

Dinner-saving ideas: Rolled omelette

There are dishes that are not only real meal-savers, but also manage to win over the palate from the very first bite. Dishes full of flavour, made from simple ingredients reminiscent of old recipes and our Rolled omelette, obviously gluten-free in this is unbeatable!

Here you will find the recipe that I love to make when the fridge is almost down to the bone, but remember that you can put whatever ingredients you have on hand, seasonal vegetables and herbs, in the Omelette Filling: it will never disappoint. And if you want to follow how to make it step by step, prepare it by watching the video recipe.

Preparation of the egg mixture

  1. The pan should be placed on the heat so that it only cooks the part of the omelette closest to you. When this has started to solidify, but the top is still perfectly soft, slightly tilt the pan and start stuffing with cooked ham and cheese.

How to roll the omelette

  1. With this movement, you allow the soft part of the omelette to slide to the bottom of the pan.
