Sweet Potato and Spinach Tortilla
Right, sweet potato and spinach tortilla. Main stuff you're likely to need to buy:
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 large onion
- Bag of spinach
- 4 eggs, beaten in a bowl
- a couple of tomatoes, chopped.
- a few good quality chipolata, or, preferably, some chorizo (can be omitted if you want, but I think this makes it nicer).
Method
If possible, cook this in a good quality, deep non-stick frying pan/skillet with a lid.
Peel your sweet potatoes and slice them into ~5mm slices. A mandoline will help with this, but if you don't have one then try to keep the slices a consistent width if you can. Slice the onion, and fry it in a splash of olive oil for a few minutes. Slice the sausages/chorizo into small chunks and add to the pan - fry for a few minutes until cooked.
Then throw in the sweet potato and tomato, and a glug of white wine, then cover and leave to cook for a bit, stirring it all occasionally. While that's happening, wash your spinach, and put it in a large saucepan with a knob of butter and bit of nutmeg, and cook it until it reduces right down. Once the sweet potato is soft but not mushy, then mix it in the large saucepan with the spinach and fold together, but try not to bash/mash the sweet potato into mush.
Then add salt and pepper, pour the beaten eggs over it all, and mix it up quickly before the eggs start to cook and return to the frying pan on a low heat. It'll take a little while to cook through, but run a spatula or something around the edge of the pan every so often to prevent it sticking - it also makes it look better when you turn it out.
Once it's more or less cooked through, put the pan under the grill to finish off the egg on top, then turn out onto a plate and eat. This is really nice when freshly cooked, but also works well cold.
