Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Faire cuire le riz

    Rince le riz basmati à l'eau froide dans une passoire jusqu'à ce que l'eau soit claire. Dans la casserole, porte 250 ml d'eau à ébullition, ajoute le riz et une pincée de sel. Baisse le feu, couvre et laisse cuire 12 min à feu doux. Éteins le feu et laisse reposer 5 min à couvert.

    Tip · Pour un riz bien séparé, ne soulève pas le couvercle pendant la cuisson.

  2. Émincer courgettes et oignon

    Lave les courgettes, coupe-les en petits dés de 1 cm. Épluche et émince finement l'oignon en lamelles.

  3. Faire revenir légumes

    Dans la poêle antiadhésive à feu moyen, verse l'huile d'olive. Ajoute l'oignon et fais-le revenir 3 min sans coloration. Ajoute les courgettes, sale légèrement et fais cuire 8 min à feu moyen en remuant de temps en temps.

  4. Battre les œufs

    Dans un bol, bats les œufs en omelette avec une fourchette, sale et poivre légèrement. Ajoute le riz cuit et mélange bien.

    Tip · Si le mélange est trop liquide, ajoute un peu de riz cuit pour épaissir avant de verser dans la poêle.

  5. Cuire l'omelette

    Verse le mélange œufs-riz sur les courgettes dans la poêle. Laisse cuire à feu doux 4 min sans toucher. Quand le dessus commence à prendre, replie l'omelette en deux avec une cuillère en bois et laisse cuire encore 2 min.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. An omelet is best soft, fresh out of the pan: reheated, it turns rubbery. Make it the day you eat it, it's done in 5 minutes!
