Breakfast, lunch or dinner; I love anything with a Spanish twist. I’ve used sweet potato for my tortilla, it's nutritious and sweet, and goes beautifully with the sharp contrast of manchego cheese. To top it off – coriander mojo (ow yeah!), a really tasty little green sauce.
Tortillas are traditionally made using potato, eggs and a good olive oil - simple. But there’s nothing wrong with making it your own! So, add anything you like to yours, I love adding chorizo if I have it on hand, or red capsicum. You can eat it hot or cold so it’s perfect for a picnic or as a pre-prepared meal to enjoy with friends.
Get yourself a nice sturdy little pan for this recipe, I’ve used my Le Creuset 20cm pan, it’s a great all-rounder in my kitchen and the perfect size for this recipe. Make it now - you're very welcome!
