Ugandan Rolex

· By Emily Tyler · From pages 24, 25 of the print edition

What better way to get to know a country than through its food. This recipe is a popular street food found in Uganda - Rolex (evolved from rolled eggs..) chanted from vendors has become a staple in the streets of their cities. And I can see why, simple and delicious and fast food at its best. Our family supports a Christian ministry in Uganda supporting education for children, one village at a time. If you would like to learn more, join us for a "Get Together for Hope" at Slater Run Vineyard, Friday October 14th, 4-6 pm and learn more about the amazing work of this ministry.

Hot sauce for serving

In a small bowl, mix all of the above except the hot sauce

Heat a cast iron frying pan to medium high heat

Pour in the vegetable and egg mixture

Distribute the mixture evenly in the pan to create a thin layer

Cook the mixture about 2-3 minutes or until brown and set

Put the Chapati (or flour tortilla) on top and flip

Warm the flat bread for a minute or two

*Chapati bread is the classic flat bread used in this recipe - if you can not find chapati bread you can substitute a good quality soft flour tortilla.
