Take care with your fillings
The idea
with this tortilla
recipe is to clear
the odds and ends
from your fridge,
but don’t go too
crazy as the egg
still needs to be
the predominant
ingredient, so that
it sticks everything
together.
Using leftovers
This tortilla uses leftovers as the main ingredient
and matches them to a storecupboard flavour.
Try tuna and greens with pesto, cheese and
bacon with mustard, chorizo and peppers
with harissa, and salmon with herbs.
Method
-
Beat the eggs with seasoning and your chosen background flavour, then add your leftovers. Stir in the spring onions and pasta or potatoes with your selected veg.
-
Turn on the grill to high. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan and tip in the egg mixture. Cook gently for 10 mins over a low heat until three-quarters set, then flash under the grill to set the top. Serve with a simple tomato salad.
