Tortilla de Patatas

I rarely eat eggs but Spanish tortilla is a nice and hearty meal to have occasionally.

olive oil (for frying)

one large pepper (halved)

onion (chopped)

3-4 floury potatoes (coarsely chopped and par-boiled)

4-6 eggs (beaten and seasoned)

paprika

(cayenne pepper)

fresh parsley

salt

pepper

- Roast the pepper skin side up under a grill until the skin is blackened. Place in a plastic bag, seal and leave until cool enough to handle. Peel the pepper and cut into long strips.

- Fry the onion in a large frying pan until golden, and then add the potatoes, season and fry for a further few minutes.

- Stir through the roasted pepper and spices, and fry for a couple more minutes.

- Add the eggs and fry on a gentle heat until the base is cooked, then grill until the top is solid.

- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with salad.
