Sausages can be very good when they are freshly cooked, but they don’t make such great leftover meals. Yet, an omelet may be the perfect solution to help you put your fridge in order and get rid of some food without throwing it away. Cooking with leftovers is perfectly fine, at least this is what we are told since early childhood. Don't spoil the food! Eat everything on your plate! Other people starve! Just how many times have we heard these things? Too many times perhaps, and now they are already rooted in our minds, making us search for leftover recipes. Here's one to help you:

Ingredients:

• 2-3 eggs
• A piece of yesterday’s sausage, cut in small slices
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Cooking procedure:

Saute the onion with the sausage in a heated frying pan, then set them aside and make a plain, simple omelet using the eggs mixed with salt and pepper. When it’s almost done, put the onion sausage mix on half on the omelet and fold the other half over it, then cook it for one more minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot, with tomatoes and cheese salad. Variant: instead of a filled omelet, you can make it the frittata style, by adding the sauteed onions and sausage into the eggs mixture before cooking it. Optionally, you can serve it with salsa or with sour cream.
