Receptet är norpat från den tidning som jag gärna vill kalla världens bästa tidning, nämligen:
Many of us think of scrambled eggs [äggröra] as breakfast fare, but to me they are the ultimate late-night post-theater supper. These perfect protein packages (each large egg has six grams of complete protein and just 71 calories) take minutes to prepare, and they always leave me feeling satisfied, never full.
Viktenheten 'pound' förkortas 'lb' [plural 'pounds', förkortat 'lbs'].
Ett pound motsvarar 0,454 kilo och består av 16 ounces. Ett ounce är 28,4 gram.
Det är framförallt i USA och Storbritannien som man väger i pound [men på postkontoren i Storbritannien väger man numera i kg och gram].
I USA mäts också personers vikt i 'pounds' och inte i 'stone' som i Storbritannien.
På sjukhus och vårdcentraler i Storbritannien journalförs dock patienter i kilo, som sedan måste översättas till stone.

Scrambled Eggs With Peppers, Tomatoes and Potatoes
1/2 pound boiling potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion [rödlök], finely chopped
1 pound mixed green and red bell peppers (2 large peppers), seeded and sliced
4 garlic [vitlök] cloves, puréed in a mortar with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound tomatoes, seeded and grated on the large holes of a grater, or peeled, seeded and diced; or 1/2 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground caraway [kummin] seeds
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander [betydelsen kan man gissa sig till :] seeds
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more to taste) or 1 teaspoon harissa [kryddblandning som jag inte visste fanns]
6 to 8 eggs, beaten
1. Steam the potatoes in a steamer placed over one inch of boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add the peppers. Cook, stirring, until the peppers begin to soften, about five minutes. Stir in the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, ground caraway and coriander seeds, and cayenne or harissa. Stir together. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring often for 20 to 30 minutes, until the mixture is cooked down and the peppers are very tender. Stir in the potatoes, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt to taste. Stir into the vegetables. Cook until the eggs are scrambled, stirring every few seconds to create large curds. Remove from the heat, and serve.
Yield: Serves four.
Advance preparation: The vegetable mixture can be made through Step 2 several hours or even a day ahead. Reheat and proceed with Step 3.
