Revamped: Singapore Chili Crab Omelets

I love revamping leftovers into something delicious. So, when I looked at my leftover Singapore Chili Crab - and needed a quick lunch this afternoon - I decided to make some Singapore Chili Crab Omelets. Easy and tasty!

Ingredients

eggs
splash of water
butter
shredded cheese (I used a mixture of parmesan, mozzarella, and asiago)
leftover Singapore Chili Crab and sauce

Procedure
Beat your eggs with a splash of water until the yolks and whites are well-blended. Heat a skillet and melt a pat of butter, swirling it around until the pan is completely coated. Pour in the beaten egg and let the edges set a bit. It shouldn't take too long. Using a spatula, lift the edges of the omelet and swirl the pan to let the liquid eggs flow beneath.

When the eggs are mostly set, spread the toppings over the eggs - on one half. In this case, I used shredded cheese and leftover crab meat mixed with a bit of the sauce. Fold the omelet in half and slide it onto your plate. Some people like their omelets in thirds; I've always done it in half.

To serve, spoon some of the leftover sauce over the omelet and top it with a few more tablespoons of crabmeat.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

Ki Ngombo = Okra

In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks! The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo . Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything. In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes. I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
