Ingredients -
For the Omelet:
6 tablespoons flour
For the Filling:
½ an eggplant, in ½ inch x 1-inch pieces
¾ cup milk
6 eggs
½ cup sour cream
Salt and black pepper
½ green bell pepper, in ½ inch x 1 inch pieces
½ yellow bell pepper, in ½ inch x 1 inch pieces
½ onion, sliced thickly
6 button mushrooms, sliced thickly
¼ cup green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon salt
6 cloves garlic
2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
½ cup fresh cilantro including stems, chopped
¼ cup fresh limejuice or lemon juice
Preparation:
Put the salt, garlic, soy sauce, limejuice, and cilantro in a food processor and process until fine and paste-like.
Put the prepared veggies in a long flat dish and pour the marinade over.
Turn the vegetables over so they are evenly covered in the marinade. Leave for a couple of hours in the refrigerator.
Combine the omelet ingredients and whisk well.
Keep this mixture in the refrigerator.
Heat the grill to medium hot and cook the marinated veggies on a grill topper or in a wok over the grill, turning them often.
When the veggies are soft and slightly charred, they are done. This takes about 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a grill-proof pan over a medium heat and add some oil or cooking spray.
Give the omelet mixture a stir and pour a third of it into the skillet or pan.
Cover it with a lid and cook for 5 minutes or until it is set.
You can flip it if you want.
Put the omelet on to a warmed plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Repeat to make two more omelets. Put the Thai grilled vegetables on to half of each omelet, fold them over, and serve right away.
