Method
- In a small bowl mix together all the salsa verde ingredients; taste and season. Set aside while you make the omelette.
- Heat the grill to high. Grill the pepper until blackened all over, then put into a food bag to sweat for 15 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, then slice.
- Heat a glug of oil in an 18cm frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and paprika and fry for another minute. Add the sobrasada and fry for 4-5 minutes until turning crisp. Stir in the parsley and chilli flakes, then transfer to a plate with the sliced pepper.
- Clean the frying pan and add a splash of oil over a medium heat. Put the eggs and milk into a medium mixing bowl and whisk briefly. When the oil is hot, pour in the eggs and cook for a minute to let the egg to start to set. Use a spatula to pull the egg into the centre and tip the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow into the space. Continue until the egg has almost all set.
- Scatter half the cheese over one half of the omelette and top with the sobrasada mixture, then add the remaining cheese. Use a fish slice to fold the omelette, then cook for a minute more. Turn out and serve with the salsa verde and lemon wedges.
