Fake Spanish Omelette (Tortilla de Patatas Falsa)

Really, really Fast Food!

Ingredients

Method
If you don\'t have that much time to prepare your meal, but you really want something nice, here there is a very simply recipe of a Spanish omelette.

Ingredients for two people:

2 little crisp packets (plain)
2 eggs
A bit of salt, it depends on how much salt you would like (because the crisps can be very salty!)
A tablespoon of olive oil

Preparation:

Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add the crisps (and the salt) and wait about 5 minutes, leaving time to the crisps to \'re-hydrate\'.

Heat a little pan (maximum heat), add the oil and then the mix. With a wooden fork keep stirring for 30 seconds, lower the temperature to minimum. Now you either fold the tortilla (like a French omelette) or turn it upside down using a plate to help.

Feel free to add any other ingredients to the mix; eg.: tuna, cheese, ham...

For you English even chilies!

¡Qué aproveche!,

This is a Ferran Adrià idea. It's quik and works great as an starter but not as good as an original spanish tortilla. And I do think crisps have a perfect place en decent food as long as you don't abuse.

I'd rather have a plain omelette - crisps have no place in decent food.
