Mocha's Omletto y Caliente Sauce

Humble Beginnings

According to legend, when Napoleon Bonaparte and his army were traveling through southern France, they decided to rest for the night near the town of Bessieres. Napoleon feasted on an omelet prepared by a local innkeeper that was such a culinary delight that he ordered the townspeople to gather all the eggs in the village and to prepare a huge omelet for his army the next day.

From this beginning, the omelette's became a tradition to feed the poor of the village at Easter. It has also become the symbol of a world-wide fraternity, rich in friendship, tradition and cultural exchange, known as the Confrerie

What does omlette mean to you?

Omlette for me is the plain canvas where I can add anything I dream off. It is simple yet mind blowing. I started making this Omlette when I was on South Beach diet a year ago. Got bored of eating eggs so had to vary it everyday. Now a day I scramble the omlette recipe and stuff it in a tortilla and grill the burrito for those lazy after noons. Chorizo or Mexican sausage is something I use in this recipe. But I couldn't get it this time so left it out. The tomatoes make the texture kind of watery. So add towards the end .
Mocha's Southwestern Omlette

Crack up four eggs, more if you want

Beat up the eggs as fast as you can

Now chop up an onion as small you want

Mince up a jalapeno as pretty as you can

All that is left is to dice up some cilantro and one tiny tomato

And take a quarter cup of shredded cheese

And mix everything with the egg.

Now comes the fun part of seasoning it right

A pinch of salt and pinch of pepper.

But the secret lies in the a teaspoon of Taco seasoning.

Now that you made the Omlette ,

You can garnish it with tortilla strips

and serve it with a Hot sauce.

The hot sauce in this photo is a home made Caribbean hot sauce gifted to my husband by his colleague. Cynthia of Taste like home was courteous enough to send me the recipe and hence I am putting the recipe below.Yummy. Don't dare to eat if you cant handle hot stuff.

Hot sauce

Wash the harbenaro peppers and remove the stems (use gloves), In a food processor or blender, add vinegar and salt to taste along with the peppers and pulse/blend to the consistency you want, some people like it to have a little texture and others like it smooth.
In terms of how much vinegar to add, I always average, I prefer to put a little and then add as I go along so that I get the right consistency. That's it, it's that simple. What makes it great is the amount of time it sits and cures but it can certainly be used right away.

We also add different things to the sauce once is it make like sliced bitter gourd, a pieces of cucumber, cut limes or lemons but generally we like to have it as is so that we can taste the flavour of the pepper and the heat.
