Today’s culinary question is: what exactly is the difference between a tortilla and a frittata? I’m not entirely sure – as far as I’m concerned they are both posh omelettes which are great for using up bits and bobs of veg. So tonight I made a green pepper, onion and mushroom fritilla or tortatta or whatever.
Heat some olive oil in a small frying pan. Chop and gently fry your chosen veg.
Meanwhile crack 4 eggs into a bowl and whisk gently with a fork.
When the veg are soften add them plus a good twist of black pepper to the eggs and mix all together. Then pour the egg and veg mix back into the frying pan and let the mixture cook gently for up to 10 minutes. Now you can either do clever things with a plate where you put the plate over the frying pan and invert the whole lot then gently slide the omelette back into the pan to cook the other side. Or you can do what I do, put the grill on and put the whole pan under the grill until the top of the omelette is nice and brown.
Enjoy your omelette with a couple of slices of yummy bread.
