Beautiful balaleet

About

This Emirati breakfast dish is made with vermicelli, Spanish saffron, dried fruits and nuts from around the world. It has a mellow, buttery taste and resembles a French-style omelette

Ingredients

800g Vermicelli
120g Butter
160g Sugar
10g Ground cardamom
25ml Rose water
4 Eggs
20ml Heart Light Canola Oil
60g Pistachio nuts
0.35g Taj Mahal Saffron

Method

Heat the oil in a pan and add half of the raw vermicelli. Lightly fry the vermicelli noodles until they turn golden brown.
Next, add a large volume of water to boil the fried vermicelli. Once the water starts to boil, add the rest of raw vermicelli and cook. Drain and put to one side.
Place the butter, cardamom, sugar and rose water in a new pan and heat gently. Add the vermicelli, mix and cook.
Make the omelettes, chop into strips and serve on top. Garnish with the chopped or whole almonds, cashews and pistachio nuts as you desire.
