Flavour burst Spanish Tortilla
This is one of my favourite ways of using up odds and ends from the fridge. I made this for tea one evening when I had not been able to get to the shops.
Well to tell the truth this was a joint effort. My wife did much of the cooking and I took pictures.
This is quick easy and delicious.
I call it "Flavour Burst " because of the intense flavour you get from the pesto and sun dried tomatoes.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the potato into 3cm cubes and put on to cook.
- 2
Grill the bacon and chop into pieces. I prefer this rather than frying as it keeps the fat down
- 3
While the bacon and spuds are cooking, chop and soften the onion
- 4
When the potatoes are cooked, drain and add them to the onions along with the cherry tomatoes, sun dried toms and bacon. Cook for a few minutes to get some heat into the toms.
- 5
I cut a few chives from the garden which i chopped and added. You could add a few herbs at this stage if you have some laying around.
- 6
Whisk the eggs with a little milk and pour into the pan.
- 7
Cook for a few minutes but turn the heat off when the bottom is cooked but the top is still a bit liquid. Normally I would add some grated cheese here but I only had parmesan in the cupboard
- 8
Using a teaspoon place a few blobs of pesto on top of the mixture. Don't mix them in! The idea is that these blobs will give little taste explosions along with the tomatoes
- 9
Put the pan under the grill and cook until the cheese bubbles
- 10
To make a garnish i chopped a few tomatoes and mixed them with a little balsamic and pesto
- 11
Enjoy. And let me know if you like it. 😀

Spanish Potato Omelette (Tortilla de Patatas) Spanish Potato Omelette (Tortilla de Patatas)
In this challenge, I chose to make tortilla de patatas as a tribute to my mother. My father doesn’t like finding big pieces of onion in the tortilla, so my mother always sliced the potatoes and especially the onion very thinly. That way, my father wouldn’t notice the onion, and my mother could add as much as she wanted, giving the tortilla more flavor. Many people won’t even try tortilla if they know it has onion, but my mother managed to fool more than one person. After they finished eating, she would always ask, “Did you like it?” and they always said yes, that it was delicious. Then she would tell them it had onion in it. Another thing she did to make the tortilla delicious was to cook it over very low heat so the potatoes wouldn’t burn and would turn out nice and tender.

I had this a few times while travelling in Spain, so when I got home I wanted to learn how to make it. All of the recipes I could find have about the same ingredients (it's a very basic recipe), but I wanted to learn more about the technique to make it just like they do in Spain. I'm posting this here hoping that some of you cooking pros will chime in with some advice on how to make the perfect tortilla!

Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish Omelet with Potatoes) Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish Omelet with Potatoes)
I grew up in Buenos Aires eating this Spanish omelet at lunchtime, especially in a sandwich with mayonnaise and lettuce. One can add scallions or sausage to it. I’ve seen it stuffed with ham and cheese too. But this simple version is the most traditional and way Penélope Cruz makes it in Almodóvar’s “Parallel Mothers”.#tortilla #patatas #potatoes #omelet #omelette #eggs #Spanish #Spain #lunch #supper #breakfast #dinner #easy #simple

Tortilla De Patatas (Spanish Omelette) Tortilla De Patatas (Spanish Omelette)
This is one of the most classic (and easiest) Spanish recipes. Every family does it in its own way, so this is my mom's style (the best, of course!). It makes a smart use of onion to sweeten it without feeling its crunchiness, plus some other tricks to make it look great.Note: as this is a big omelette, it usually cooks faster and easier on gas stoves. If you're using an electric or induction stove it might require around 30 minutes of extra heating for steps 9 to 14.
