Spanish Tortilla

What a wonderful invention. Spuds, eggs, onions and whatever else you want to throw in.

Love a bit if Tapas but A Tortilla can adorn a lot of lunch plates and for that reason I started an appreciation thread.

just had some for lunch. makes you think...

Bought a tortilla press about two months ago with the intention of having them every day after visiting a Mexican place for my dinner.

Tried to make them with normal corn flour and they were shit, nothing like the ones I’d had which were so soft. Bought a crate load of masa harina from Amazon and haven’t tried to make them since.

Actually had huevos rancheros too for breakfast yesterday but out. If I can crack them I’d definitely have them three or four times a week

they work well with the masa harina, think they take less time to fry than the pre bought but would need to check with the wife as she is the expert. if you deep fry after making you can have tostada which is cracking also, bit like a crispy open sandwich


on topic love some red pepper in the spanish one

Could never get into them even when I lived in Espana.Bereft of flavour.Why the f*** when there's so much better to be had.Its a big Partridge shrug from me

A good trick, when it's cooked underneath is to but it under the grill - the top comes up great & it almost doubles in size

Go to meal for one for me. my lad showed me the craic with them when he lived there. Always have a supply of cooked spuds on the ready for them, breakfast, lunch, dinner. Add anything, spice how you like. ten minute top eating.

I wonder what happens if you then put milk on it and bung it in the microwave?
