Ready, steady, cook what? Dinner needed!

[Griffit]

So I've come home for a change and have precious little to eat in the house but figure I should cook rather than eating out tonight; the problem is my ingredients...

In the fridge I have:

Eggs x4
Chestnut mushrooms
Curly Kale
Double cream
Lemons

I also have storecupboard essentials that I can use.

Any suggestions that don't involve an omelette?!

Frittata, ok its almost an omlet but a bit more substancial

You've got a 3 egg mushroom omelette with kale on the side, by the look of it.

If you can pop out, a tin of white crab meat or one of those little tubes of Austrian smoked cheese is nicer IMO. But you do need the green stuff on the side.

I've all manner of tinned/jarred fish etc but looking ever more like an omelette with kale... How disappointing!

I was going to go with tortilla as soon as I saw the ingredients list...

Breaded mushrooms with sour cream?

Well, guessing at your cupboard contents, you probably aren't a million miles from a pasta carbonara. American style, if you use the cream...

Fry the mushrooms with butter and garlic, then add the cream and eggs so you have your omelette (sorry). The addition of a drop of truffle oil / dried mushrooms soaked in water, plus a bit of parmesan grated over the top will elevate this into the Sublime.

If you've more garlic and a chilli or two in the house, heat some peanut oil in a wok, add the garlic and chilli (finely sliced) and fry until the fragrance rises, then toss in the kale and some soy sauce. Stir fry until bright green, and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
