I don't have green rings...
I don't like them without green rings, I don't like them when the fat lady sings, I don't like them without ham, I don't like them, Sam I Am!
has anyone ever tried tortilla, its delicious
Here is the recipe, if you would like to try at home.
A Spanish tortilla, as opposed to a Mexican tortilla, is a close cousin to the Italian fritatta. So many people, especially televison chefs, have bastardized the fritatta for so long that is seems to have lost it's identity.
First of all, a fritatta is made with egg, the whole egg, and nothing but the egg, so help me Grandma LoVullo. No milk or cream, no flour, and no baking soda. A fritatta is supposed to be dense, NOT fluffy!
A fritatta customarily has potato in it, small diced and sauted before you cook the eggs. Potato is usually joined by Italian sausage without a casing or panchetta, and it is added just before the potato is cooked and before the egg is added. Then, and only then, do you add the egg, and some type of melting cheese such as mozzarella or asiago. Gorganzola works too, if you like bleu cheeses. This is the point where you also add your vegetables, such as onions, scalions, bell pepper, or wwhatever vegetables you like.
A fritatta is cooked in a frying pan (I prefer a cast iron skillet) on top of the stove. Once the fritatta is lightly browned on the bottom, you slip it under the broiler to finish the top and perhaps melt some extra cheese onto it. It is NEVER baked in the oven. It is not a quiche, and it is not a souflle, it is a fritatta.
Suzita, thanks for the tortilla recipe. I will definitely be preparing it for my next brunch. What side dishes would you recommend? I am kind of partial to fruit salads to accompany brunch.
