Delicious in Dungeon #4: Mandrake and Basilisk Omelet

 Baby faces. Loud noises. The two worst things to ever exist, combined into one horrifying creature. I mean, besides babies.

We're talking about mandrakes, the root that toots. the little turnip that turns it up. We're about to discover if there's any senses that it doesn't displease, such as taste. By generously dicing it into an omelet.

Here's our mandrakes prepped and ready.

We'll probably just need one for this recipe though, as well as some of the snake parts(?) of the basilisk, its eggs, some bacon meat and a bit of extra cooking fat.

Peeled the mandrake and diced it into little cubes. Nice.

I'm not sure if i should have used my pan with the rather worn coating instead of the smooth okonomiyaki pan, but... well, maybe if we use plenty of basilisk lard.. 

I used some heritage breed golden yolk eggs to exotify it a bit for the basilisk eggs, but they look prettymuch like typical chicken eggs.

We can fry up the diced mandrake and basilisk bacon (its parsnip and pork pancetta if you don't know) till its nice and golden.

The recipe allows us some salt and pepper seasoning too, and it also lists ketchup! I think i'll add ketchup at the end though, if i put it in the frying pan it'll make the pan more sticky.

In the manga senshi apparantly adds the eggs straight on top of the filling and somehow makes a perfect omelet shape... i don't believe him so im taking the cubes out and starting the eggs straight on the pan.

Ah sod it, doesn't matter because i fumbled it anyway. I guess the egg still stuck to the pan too much. At least the final presentation shows it cut open anyway. 

*****

It's not been a good run presentation-wise thus far, but... It's too delicious to mark down! Bizarrely, this isn't my first combination of omelet and parsnip in these challenges and done quite differently it still proves to be a very powerful combination. The salty pork and the starchy vegetable, everything crisply fried. Maybe one day ill actually succeed in an omurice style filled omelet thats not a mess... maybe.
