Foodie Fridays: Spanish Tortilla
First of
all, I’ve decided to re-name this segment from ‘What I ate’ to ‘Foodie Fridays’...because
I think the latter sounds cooler and because it’s my blog...so I can pretty
much do what I want ;-D (Whoa!
Power-rush!). Ideally I'll post a recipe every friday (Hopefully).
Some
people may consider this dish to be more of a breakfast thing but I think it
works just as well for lunch or dinner. Accompanied by salad or kachumbari. So
here’s my own special twist to the Spanish tortilla.
Ingredients
(Serves 6)
1 kg potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 green pepper, diced
6 sausages, sliced
2 tomatoes, chopped
A quarter cup of peas, steamed
6 large eggs, beaten
A handful of chopped parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Extras
A deep (large)
frying pan
Pre-heat oven to gas-mark 5 (190 degrees Celsius)
Method
1.
Boil the potatoes in a pan of lightly salted
water for 5 minutes, then drain.
2.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and
sausage and sauté over low heat until the sausages are slightly brown. Add the
potatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
3.
Add the garlic, green pepper, tomatoes and peas,
mixing well. Cook for a few minutes.
4.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well (This way, the salt and pepper is mixed evenly
throughout the food).
5.
Pour in the eggs and sprinkle the parsley on top.
Cover and cook under low heat for 10-12 minutes.
6.
Remove the pan from the heat and continue to
cook the tortilla in the oven at medium heat (Gas-mark 4/ 180 degrees Celsius) for 10 minutes or until the tortilla is set
and the top is golden brown (You can use
a knife to check that the centre is well-done).
7.
Cut the tortilla into wedges/cubes and transfer
to serving dishes.
Bon appetite
Tips
Pre-heating means that you set the oven
temperature one step higher than the temperature you’ll actually use for
cooking. But if you regularly bake then you already know this.
