Tortilla and Broccoli Salad
I seemed to have loads of eggs at the moment. I bought 2 dozen quail's eggs at Waitrose during my extravaganza. I also bought 6 duck eggs while I was there. Not sure what got me buying so many "non-standard" eggs, I guess a reaction against my local Islington Sainsbury's as they had stopped stocking both quail & duck eggs.
Anyway, I also had 6 chicken eggs in the fridge, so I decided to make a big tortilla.
Tortilla
1 large onion, chopped (about 200g)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
400g new potatoes, boiled and sliced
80g Spanish olives, sliced (mine were jalapeno stuffed)
25g anchovies, minced
6 large free-range, organic eggs, beaten
Fry the onions and garlic in the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until golden. Add the cooked, sliced potatoes and rosemary and mix well, but be careful not to break up the potatoes too much. Add the olives and anchovies and mix again.
Finally, pour over the beaten eggs and cook over low heat, shaking pan from time to time, until eggs are largely set with just a few wet patches on top.
Pop under a pre-heated grill until eggs are set on top. Allow to cool and cut into wedges.
Can be eaten hot or at room temperature.
