Tortilla Rellena

  Here's another way to serve the Tortilla Española when you want to surprise your guests!  I got this recipe from some friends from Galicia (northwest of Spain) about 10 years ago.  All you need to do is make a traditional potatoes omelette and let it cool.  Then, you are going to cut it in half (like you would cut a baguette) and stuff it.  I usually do mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, ham and cheese cause you can find that anywhere.  In Spain, I used sobrasada (a raw, cured sausage made with ground pork, paprika and spices), smoked salmon or espencat (grilled eggplant and pepper - recipe coming soon).

The possibilities are endless!!

INGREDIENTS:

Start by making the regular potatoes omelette (recipe here).  In addition to eggs, potatoes and olive oil you will need:

• Sliced ham

• Sliced tomato

• Sliced cheese

• Fresh lettuce

• Mayonnaise

HOW TO PREPARE IT:

Follow these steps.

1. Open the omelette in half and spread mayonnaise on each of the two halves.

2. Uniformly place the tomatoes, the lettuce, the ham and the cheese over one of the halves.

3. Place the other half on top to close the omelette. Serve at room temperature.

Enjoy!!
