For some reason everyone seems to think this is one of the best omelettes they’ve ever had whenever i make it. The trick is to use a small non-stick/teflon fry pan (no more than 9 inches wide) and to make sure it’s nice and hot before you start.

Do Americans write ‘omelet’ instead?

I make this with organic canned kidney beans since I don’t have a pressure cooker yet, so I’m going to rewrite the recipe to reflect that, but if you have dried, you can certainly pre-cook them. Also, this is another recipe we sometimes double (the leftovers are great for days).

It was incredible cooked in a pumpkin (<a href="http://flickr.com/photos/chanale/297551026/">see photo</a>).
