Tortilla (recipes)








Serves 6-8



Preparation time

less than 30 mins



Cooking time

10 to 30 mins

















Ingredients



25g/1oz butter1 tbsp olive oil2 large onions, finely sliced750g/1½lb Pink Fir Apple potatoes, peeled, parboiled and sliced into 1cm/½in pieces250g/8oz handful fresh spinach, cooked and roughly chopped10 free range eggs, lightly beatensalt and pepper



Method



1. In a large, heavy-based frying pan, heat the butter and oil and cook the onions slowly until transparent and soft.2. Add the potato slices and fry gently for 2 minutes.3. Add the spinach.4. Season the eggs with salt and pepper and pour onto the contents of the frying pan.5. Cook over a low to medium heat: it may take up to 10 minutes until the egg is set enough to turn the tortilla over, and if the heat is too high, the bottom will burn before the middle is set.6. Once the bottom is nicely browned and the centre has set, it is time to turn it over. This is done with a double flip : place a plate (or the bottom of a tart tin) over the pan and flip it over once, so that the uncooked top is on the bottom. Take another plate, and flip it again so the uncooked surface is on the top again. Then place the frying pan back over the tortilla and flip one more time, so the uncooked bit is now in contact with the base of the pan.7. Replace the pan over low heat until the tortilla is cooked through.8. Serve hot, warm or cold, cut into slices or cubes.
