Mexican omelette

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
Refried beans
45 g butter
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
410 g baked beans
20 ml water
3 ml ground cumin
salt and black pepper
Omelette
20 g butter
8 eggs
1 large green pepper
12 peppadews

Method:
REFRIED BEANS:
Heat the butter in a large frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the baked beans, a little at a time. Mash each time with a fork and only add the next batch when the previous batch is slightly crisp on the edges. When all the beans have been added, the mixture should be creamy. Stir in the water. Add cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Then set aside.

OMELETTE: Heat 5 ml of the butter in a clean pan. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour into the pan and cook over a gentle heat until just set.
Spoon a quarter of the refried beans on to half of the omelette and top with a quarter of the green pepper and peppadews. Fold over the other half of the omelette. Repeat with the other 3 omelettes.
