Slaney adSlaney food & drink Tried-Tested-Tasted by Caitriona

Caitriona Barron from Drinagh, Wexford, grew up on her dad’s farm with plentiful homegrown veg and their own meat so “we really knew the value of good food. My mother started a seafood business after meeting my stepfather fisherman, my brother now runs the seafood business so I’m well used to fresh food.”

“I worked with the family business before leaving to be a stay-at-home mother but soon got bored (lol!) and started taking pics of my food, sharing my recipes on social media. When people started showing interest, I realised this could be a job so I bought myself a camera and threw myself in the deep of it. I love it and I get to work with amazing companies. Seeing my pictures in magazines, in shops, and occasionally on TV is pretty amazing. “I’m a mother of two boys and, yes, juggling it all can be very tough. But I keep it going as it’s my passion now and it’s very rewarding.” https://www.facebook.com/triedtestedtasted and Caitriona_barron on insta n

THE PERFECT OMELETTE

Ingredients 3 large eggs ¼ cup milk 1 tablespoon olive oil Half white onion finely chopped 1/2 cup diced/cubed ham 1 tablespoon butter ¼ cup grated Wexford cheese Instructions: Crack three eggs directly into small bowl. Pour in milk, then whisk egg mixture until fully combined. Mixture should be pale in color and no longer streaky. 1. Heat medium, non-stick pan over medium heat. When skillet is warm, add oil and swirl pan to coat. 2. Continue heating skillet until oil is hot and shimmering, then add diced ham, chopped onion. Stir to incorporate ingredients, then cook 5 minutes or until veggies are tender. Transfer mixture to medium bowl and set aside. 3. Add 1 tablespoon butter to same pan and heat over medium heat until butter is melted. When butter is melted, slowly pour egg mixture into the pan and carefully tilt pan to spread egg mixture out to edges of pan.

Cook until eggs are almost fully-set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. 4. Sprinkle grated cheese down centre of omelette. Continue cooking until cheese has melted, approximately 1 minute. 5. Remove pan from heat. Spread diced ham mixture out in one even layer down centre of omelette. 6. Carefully fold top edge of omelette down and over ham filling to centre of omelette. Fold bottom edge of omelette up and over filling to meet top edge of omelette.

Once folded, carefully slide omelette out of pan onto plate and serve warm with desired sides or toppings. n Pic: Caitriona Barron. https://www.facebook.com/triedtestedtasted
