Hence this, the only good photo of my food so far (and, to be fair, the food looks rather rubbish too but that's because it's a bloody tortilla and it's hard to make them look good yeah? Oh... a I becoming defensive? This is not a good side of me...) was taken by the boy.
Phew. Now that's out of my system, on with dinner... I'm becoming a bit obsessed with 'using things up'. And as I had week old eggs, past-its-prime coriander, an on-the-turn orange pepper and some sour cream, I figured I would whip together some tortilla action.
I hate hard potatoes in tortilla, and lost my metal-handled oven-proof frying pan in the most recent house move so opted to par boil the potatoes beforehand. Meanwhile I fried onion chunks and the pepper. After slicing the almost perfect potatoes, I tossed them in a big bowl along with beaten egg, chopped coriander, small chunks of feta, frozen peas, chopped mint, a dash of cayenne and some onion salt. My black pepper grinder is playing up so they only got a little fleck.
The lot was put on a low hob for 15 minutes then put under a low grill for another 15. This was mainly because I was waiting for the boy to come back from his rehearsals and I don't like it when the egg gets too hard. I served slices up warm with some sour cream and a little greenery.
