Potato omlette

This is an interesting vegetarian meal that can be made without utensils.

You will need

• Two eggs
• One medium sized potato
• Large cabbage leaves
• Salt& pepper to taste
• Aluminium foil

Method

• Grate the potato and mix thoroughly with the two eggs,
• Form a foil bowl with a double thickness of foil,

• Line the foil bowl with cabbage leaves - this is to prevent the egg from sticking to the foil.

• Scoop the egg/potato mixture on to the cabbage leaves,
• Close up the foil bowl with foil
• Place on hot embers for about 10 minutes.

Variations

• Add 25g of grated cheese or finely chopped onion to the mix to add flavour.
