On Sunday, we tend to have a family dinner rather than lunch (we often go somewhere for the day with the kids). Generally it's a creative dinner from leftovers; we often make home made pizzas, on which we "throw" all the leftovers from the week end: Vegetables, meat (roast chicke, roast pork or sausages mostly)....We crack an egg on top sometimes, a little cheese and Hop! dinner is served. Each one of us picks his toppings- cool!. For a change, since I have just discovered #SundaySupper (look on Twitter, visit Thefamilyfoodie.blogpress.com or look on their Facebook Fan page), I decided to enter this week end's cooking theme with mini tortilla de patata full of fresh herbs and spring green vegetables.
MINI TORTILLAS DE PATATA
Ingredients (pour 6) 12 pommes de terres nouvelles, coupees en tranches epaisses et regulieres 6 oeufs, legerement battus une grosse poignée d'herbes fraiches (moi j'ai fait persil coriandre mais thym, aneth et estragon marche aussi tres bien), coupées tres fin 1 verre de petits pois frais ou surgelés sel, poivre au moulin 6 cuil a café d'huile d'olive optionel: Ajoutez une grosses pincée de cumin OU paprika OU du fromage rapé/copeaux de parmesan ou meme des cubes de buche de chevre ou du chorizo en petits cubes 12 new potatoes, cut into thick and regular slices 6 eggs, lightly whisked 1 big handful of fresh herbs (I used a mix of coriander and parsley, but fresh thyme, tarragon, dill would work equally well), finely chopped 1 glass of peas (fresh or frozen) salt and pepper from the mill 6 tsp of olive oil Optional: Add 1 heaped tsp of cumin OR paprika OU grated cheese/parmegianno peels even some cubes goat cheese or chorizo in small dices
1. Bring 1 l of water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain. 2. Pour 1 tsp of olive oil in each of 6 individual moulds (mine are large rond shaped Guy de Marle FLEXIPAN silicone ones) and spread with a kitchen brush 3. Add the potato slices, then season very generously (potatoes absorb a lot of salt) 4. Add the herbs, the peas (and cheese/chorizo/spices if used) before topping up with the egg mix. Season again. 5. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for approx 15 minutes until set. Voila :)
Je sers les miennes avec des petites asperges vinaigrette ce week end. C'est tout :) I am serving them with fresh asparagus coated in a vinaigrette dressing. That's all :)
