Preparation
To make sauce, mix tomatoes, pepper, garlic, parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside in refrigerator.
In a frying pan, heat some olive oil and some butter and sauté onion and peppers for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gently add potatoes and cook 5 more minutes until nicely browned.
Remove vegetables from pan with a slotted spatula and set aside, keeping warm. Wipe pan with kitchen paper and heat some more olive oil and butter. Put vegetables back in pan and sprinkle them with sharp Canadian Cheddar cheese.
Pour eggs over vegetables and cook over moderate heat until set. Cut omelette in slices, garnish with fresh herbs and serve with a green salad.
