Nut Omelette, Ancient Rome, 1st Century AD.



1/2 cups of nibbed almonds - 1/2 cups of broken walnuts -  2 tbsp - pine kernels - 1 tbsp honey - 2 tbsp white wine - 2 tbsp milk - 2 tbsp fish sauce (I have used anchovy sauce) - 6 eggs - ground black pepper - 1 tbsp of olive oil. 

Upside-down patina as a sweet. Roast pine kernels and shelled broken nuts; crush with honey, pepper, fish sauce, milk, eggs, a little wine and oil, turn on a round flat dish. 
Apicius 4, 2, 16. 

I have tried with extra anchovy sauce after serving, it was quite nice!
