Spanish Tortilla
There are many versions of a Spanish Tortilla recipe, but unfortunately many involve loads of oil. We have lightened this recipe up by using only a touch of olive oil and feel it is just as tasty as oil laden versions we've tried. This dish can also be served cold and makes a great picnic lunch, or sliced into small portions and served as tapas.
