The Nationwide Cook-Off held last Wednesday, September 14, saw Mayor of Kingston, His Worship, Councillor Desmond McKenzie sharing first place with Nationwide CEO Cliff Hughes. McKenzie’s Lasco corned beef egg blanket flavoured with a delicate blend of spices and seasonings wowed the judges, and so, too, did Hughes’ equally colourful, tasty and creative ‘Tun’ cornmeal dish. Thursday Food shares the recipe…

Egg Blanket

Ingredients

8 Large Eggs

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Spray

Method

Beat eggs until light and fluffy, then add salt and pepper. Pour 1/4 of the beaten egg into the pan, and roll it around a little until the pan is coated. As soon as the mixture sets and can be lifted, spoon 1/4 of the corned beef mixture in the centre. Fold the ends closest to you, then fold the other sides until it is completely wrapped. Plate and serve.
