Cooking and Eating an Irish Flag

First the ingredients! Eggs, rice and broccoli are the essentials. Only the yummiest eggs for St Patrick's day; from Columbian blacktail hens.

While ordinary white rice and broccoli are boiling, mix two eggs. In a separate bowl, separate two eggs. Put the two yolks into the two eggs that are already mixed. Don't be scrupolous about the exta yolks, it's probably a sin to save on the cholesterol during this great feast. With a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs and the two yolks. Observe nice frothy, goldy bubbles on the top.

Heat a medium sized frying pan with olive oil. Pour the mixed eggs onto the pan. Turn down the heat - the flag has no brown streaks.

While the golden omlette is cooking... Puré the broccoli. Add mixed Italian herbs.

Allow the broccoli paste to cool. Whisk the two egg white until they are stiff and a soft white colour.
Fold in the egg whites onto the broccoli and add a tiny pinch more of Italian herbs.

Now you have a green goo that will be a broccoli omlette.
Prepare the frying pan again, and slowly cook a broccoli omlette in the same way you would cook a regular omlette. The albumin in the egg white will keep it springy.

Turn your attention to the rice. In the middle of a plate, arrange the rice in a rectangular shape.
Cut the golden omlette into a rectangle and place it to the right of the rice.
