Moroccan Olive Omelette (Bayd De Zaitun) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 eggs
    1 (4 1/4 ounce) can black olives, drained (the chopped kind)
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    1/2 teaspoon caraway seed, crushed in a mortar and pestle
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 pinch sweet paprika
    1 teaspoon fresh tarragon, minced
Preparation
    In a medium sized bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
    Stir in the olives, parsley, caraway and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
    Heat the oil in a very hot non-stick frying pan.
    Pour the mixture into the pan, move the pan to distribute evenly and leave for 7 seconds without stirring.
    Tilt the pan and move the cooked egg to the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to replace the cooked egg. When there is the hint of uncooked egg left, fold the omelette in half and transfer to a warm platter, sprinkle with paprika and tarragon.
    Cut into 2 or 3 pieces and serve immediately.
