• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Indredients
  • • 50g (2oz) young tender runner beans
  • • 2 eggs
  • • 30ml (2tbsp) milk
  • • 2 nasturtium seeds
  • • 4 nasturtium petals
  • • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • • 15ml (1tbsp) butter
  • • Freshly grated parmesan cheese to taste.
Directions
Slice the runner beans finely and add to a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 4 minutes, then drain. Beat the eggs with the milk. Crush the seeds with a fork, and then add the seeds, leaves and petals to the egg mixture. Season lightly with salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a gentle heat. Pour the egg and nasturtium mixture into the pan, add the beans and cook gently until the omelette has just set. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve immediately, garnished with extra petals.
 
Oh I don't know Berties - I think classic33's recipe just may have legs... (sorry!)
Seriously, I will try it. We have both runner beans and nasturtiums in profusion at the moment so imaginative ways of using them are always welcome. I certainly wouldn't have thought of this one myself!
