Cabbage Omelette

in

When it comes to omelettes, you could open an encyclopedia for the variety and versatility that this type of preparation can have. In practice, infinite types can be made where the only denominator is naturally the beaten egg.

I have made many since I started cooking but I had never tried this one I’m about to propose to you. Actually conceived by my wife, who almost always inspires my recipes, we thought of using a cabbage we had at home.

At first, I thought it might turn out to be not so appetizing, but after cooking it, I was pleasantly surprised. Making it was very simple; it was enough to stew the finely chopped cabbage along with some oil, salt, wine, and water to then create the omelette by adding beaten eggs with salt and grated Parmesan.
