tortilla de patatas

How could I have not put up a recipe for tortilla de patatas before now? It really is an easy and very versatile dish. This is your basic potato & onion version, which actually would have been prettier with a bit of chopped roasted red pepper tossed in. But really, the possibilities are somewhere this side of endless. Pick a filling you like and have fun. Spinach, onion & red pepper tortilla is also one of my faves, as is one made with just grated courgette and later topped with cheese and white pepper and put under the grill to finish. It also makes a great “butty” with sliced tomato and salsa az (see below).

huevos rancheros al benedict

This one doesn’t really need a recipe. Just something I threw together this evening and it was so fast and delicious that I thought I’d share it here. A sort of eggs benedict/huevos ranchero combination. So, just toast a flour tortilla and then  spread some of The Sauce on it, add some wilted spinach, a fried egg and a dollop of tomato hot sauce.

Roll it up and … yum!

And the (optional) grated cheese can either be added to the mixture before cooking or melted on top afterwards.
