Open-faced Spanish Omelette is one of the best-known and universally liked Spanish dishes. It’s also my signature dish loved by customers of a small coffee shop, The Haven, based in Ealing, (W5) London. Often served as a tapa in Spain along with other nibbles and drinks, this little dish also can be the best meal any time of the day. Spanish tortilla is made with eggs, diced potatoes, onions and meat such as chorizo. If you are vegetarian, you can skip the sausage. The tortilla tastes best at room temperature or cold, served with salad or garlic mayonnaise. Find the recipe here…
Vegetable Quesadillas
A classic Mexican quesadilla consists of corn tortillas filled with Oaxaca cheese - low-fat cheese with a texture similar to mozzarella. It’s cooked on a dry skillet until the cheese melts and served with guacamole and red salsa. But the quesadilla is such a versatile dish that you can substitute the corn tortillas with the flour tortillas, and fill it with whatever you like: vegetables, meat - chicken or beef, and cheese of your choice. It can be served with sour cream, spicy sauces, guacamole or cold condiments such as Picco de Gallo. Great for lunch, dinner or supper. Find the recipe for my Vegetable Quesadilla here.
Red Onion Marmelade
Red Onion Marmalade goes well with pâté, charcuterie platter, hard cheese, on a burger, with roast pork or beef steak. It’s sweet, soft and aromatic as it was cooked for some time in red wine and balsamic vinegar. Red Onion Marmelade is great freshly made, however, it gets even better the next day as the flavours have time to combine. It takes only one hour to have it ready so make a double portion as it disappears quickly. Find the recipe here…
