The spanish tortilla, unlike the omelette or quiche, is cooked completely on the stove, has soft, juicy, spongy and tasty consistency. A spanish tortilla can have vegetables, herbs/spices added to achieve different flavor profiles, in regular omelettes or quiches they are added in lesser quantities.I hope you like the recipe and try it at home 🙂

Just experimented and made this. It tastes so good! It's very filling.

In Catalonia, it's called Dijous Gras; in the Balearic Islands, Dijous Llarder; and elsewhere, Jueves Lardero. The word 'lardero' comes from the Latin 'lardarius,' meaning 'pork butcher.'This day is also known in many places as 'Tortilla Day.' It marks the start of Carnival festivities and signals that there's one week until Ash Wednesday, which begins Lent—meaning 40 days until Easter.What's the connection between this day and tortillas?There are many theories, but the most common is that, in the past, people made tortillas with flour and pork fat on this day and would go out to the countryside to eat them.Nowadays, flour and fat have been replaced by eggs, which is why it's traditional to bring a tortilla sandwich to school or work.Of course, each region celebrates this day differently, with a variety of foods and traditions.Basically, it's a day spent outdoors where food plays a big role. The celebration is especially popular in the eastern regions of the Iberian Peninsula, where there's a saying: 'Jueves lardero, longaniza en el puchero' (On Lardero Thursday, sausage in the pot).

I used pace hot salsa and used medium tia rosa tortillas.

Dinner is ready with this typical Spanish tortilla, super easy and delicious. You can enjoy it hot or cold.

This, I literally just made myself, and have continued to. It's soo yum!

The origin is really the leftovers. This is the very first primitive version of it. I try to replicate a dish using similar ingredients. Let’s see what we’ve got!
