Evening time is when you most often see me putting together something for dinner the coming day. The fun thing for me, is that I rarely do things twice (and even if so, it practically never ends up the EXACT same way…) and since Niger doesn’t have a supermarket where everything is available, you just piece together things depending on what is available, or what combinations you happen to think will turn out great! In this case, I good the tuna-egg dish inspiration from my sister-in-law and added some vegetables that I had in house. Since the dish ended up a success, I knew I had to share by blogging the recipe. Here goes!
Solar Cooker Tuna Omelet Recipe (4 persons)
Mix the following ingrediences:
1 box of tuna
4 tomatoes (medium-sized)
1 onion (chopped)
2-3 paprikas (chopped)
fresh basil (or some other herb)
salt & pepper (or other spices
6-8 eggs
Mix the ingredients together-
… then place in your solar oven for approximately 4 hours (no longer if the sun is good, or it will dry up).
Come back from work, open solar oven and voilà!
In this case, the omelet was served on a plate with solar cooked millet bread, fresh tomatoes and basil leaves.
Tempted, anyone?

Hmmm-yum-yum-yummy! And I liked the look of the last casserole you introduced your readership to, too. I’d venture an advice, though. First, stir-fry your onions for two minutes on a gas burner before adding them to the raw omelette mix. That’ll caramelize the sugars in them. The caramelized sugars will enhance your recipe. Oh! And next time, try and add diced chicken breasts to the mix. Fowl or egg? Which comes first?
I would hate to sound pushy, but I guarantee you an epiphany once you’d have checked the following out. My key-word was “achard”.

Yes..
Really tempted!
Eller jag kanske ska skriva på svenska..
Jag ska bara snickra ihop en sån där solugn och …eh.. vänta… tills solen har lagat maten!
Kram på dig.

Good to see that you are back blogging again!
@Karin: I wouldn’t be at all worried - even as a professional dietitian - to come and stay with us whereas healthy food is concerned! I think I’ll have to add this post to my favourite posts by the way, because the sunshine just makes the food look so tempting!
@Jerome: I’ll keep that tip in mind - although for the solar oven recipe, it doesn’t help much as it’s all about quick, healthy cooking…
@Magnus: Good luck constructing your own solar oven! You know you can order them, though? Not that it would help you that much in Sweden, but hey, aren’t you thinking about moving south in your older days…?
@Anette: Well, sick or healthy, I seem to keep my blogging commitments…
Thanks for the ”Healthy Food and Diet” Blog

[…] Baking an omelet in the solar oven by Esther Garvi The post has something for everybody: vegetarians, protein-hungry iron-pumpers, sun worshippers, and lovers of nifty inventions. Esther lives in Niger as an upaid volunteer for the Eden Foundation and helps the people of the “least developed area of the least developed country in the world achieve a sustainable life”. Here, she uses an ultra nifty solar oven to make a tasty omelet. It’s not a vegetarian recipe but it does includes a lot of vegetables and protein-hungry people will like it for its inclusion of tuna and lots of eggs. She serves it with solar-cooked millet bread. Reading this and through her other blog posts reminds me that even one of the poorest country in the world can also be the richest in certain respects. […]
