Chard, potato and chilli saffron omelettes with yogurt

Chef Ben Tish shares his recipe for a filling omelette, packed with herbs and greens and served with plenty of chilli and yogurt.

Ben says: “This is my version of the Syrian-style breakfast omelette ejjeh. It’s not just for breakfast, though; I’ll happily make these for dinner with a fresh salad or slice them to serve as part of a mezze. The saffron and yolks impart a vibrant yellow to the omelette, which I find irresistible alongside the greens and fresh herbs.”

  1. Ben’s tip “Be creative – vary the herbs with coriander and thyme and use kale
    or cavolo nero in place of the chard. I’ve also made this with chopped leafy radishes using the same quantities.”
