Cooking Tips

Add sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time:
When making meringues and some cakes, sugar is best slowly added to beaten egg whites. This serves to increase the stability of the foam. Sugar, however, can retard the foaming of the whites and must be added slowly so as not to decrease the volume. Beat the whites until foamy, and then slowly beat in the sugar.

Feta and Spinach Omelette

Serves 2

After gym meal idea

Ingredients:
1/2 bunch English spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
30g reduced fat feta, crumbled
4 eggs
Salad, to serve
Crusty wholemeal bread, to serve

Method:
Pull the spinach leaves from the stalks. Wash and dry the leaves, then finely shred. Heat half of the oil in a 24cm (top measurement) non-stick frying pan. Cook the onion over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, until soft and lightly golden.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the spinach and mix through the onion. Stir until wilted slightly. Sprinkle the feta over the top.

Lightly beat the eggs in a jug, and season. Pour the eggs into a frying pan. Cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, until set underneath. Cook the top of the omelette under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes, until set. Alternatively, slide the omelette onto a plate, and invert back into the pan. Slide out onto a plate and cut into 6 wedges. Serve with salad and crusty bread.

Tip: Add a sprinkle of ground pepper to season
