Ingredients

Techniques
- black beans
- 2 tbsp scallion
Chop a couple of tablespoons of scallion.
- ½ whole tomato
Cook the scallion and garlic in the pan as the aromatic base, then add the tomato.
- salt
- pepper
Add a pinch of salt to draw the moisture out of the tomatoes and a pinch of pepper, and wait for the tomatoes to break down on a medium-low heat.
- cilantro
Stir the cooked black beans into the base and cook together so they take up the tomato, cayenne, garlic and scallion flavour, then finish with cilantro. This can be made ahead and set aside.
- 1 tsp butter
Melt about a teaspoon of butter in a nonstick pan on medium-low heat.
Cooking the omelette
Pour in the egg and pull the cooked edge towards the centre with a spatula so the raw egg fills the gap; season with black pepper.
When 80 to 90 percent of the egg is set, still on low heat, add the black bean mixture to one side.
