Vegan Spanish Omelette

I found the recipe for this on Chef Chloe’s Blog and just had to try it out. There are loads more delicious looking recipes so take a look.

Of course I couldn’t help playing with it a bit, and slightly changed the recipe to suit me.

It was wonderful. I’ve missed omelette so much…
