If you are a egg lover like me , you would definitely like this Courgette Tortillas . This is an Andalusian recipe which has a combination of  Zucchini and eggs.  For a change i added , boiled potatoes and  finely chopped Broccoli along with Zucchini in the tortilla and i had garnished with juicy Tomatoes .

Just by the name "Tortillas" , you might think you need tortillas for this dish . Nope ...
These Courgette Tortillas are very much similar to our basic Vegetable Omelette or Frittata . They are can be served  any time of the day . I served  these Tortillas for my breakfast . We loved them big time .



These Courgette Tortillas can be made two ways ; either by  oven method or stove top method. I made them on stove top.

Ingredients :

Eggs - 2
Zucchini - 1/2
Broccoli - finely Chopped ( Chop only the florets , leaving out the stem )
Chopped Onions - 1/4 Cup ( Finely Chopped )
Garlic -  1  clove ( Finely Chopped )
Oil to fry
Salt
Pepper
Boiled Potato - 1 ( small or medium )
Tomatoes - To Garnish

Instructions :

- Boil the potato and keep aside . Slice it really thin .
- Clean and scrape the skin on Zucchini and slice it thin and keep aside.
- Beat the eggs really well and keep aside .
- Add some oil in a pan , saute the onions and garlic till they turn golden brown.
-Add finely chopped Broccoli and saute for a minute . Sprinkle some salt and pepper .
- Now arrange the potatoes and zucchini alternatively and pour in half  the egg mixture .
- Close it with a lid and allow it to cook in a medium flame for around 5-7  minutes. Once the bottom of the tortilla is set . Carefully flip it over and cook on the otherside.

Andalusian Stuffed Tomatoes - IFC


As the host for this month's challenge in International Food Challenge , I had chosen few Andalusian Cuisines to explore . Before exploring the cuisine , lets see about the country.

Andalusia is one of the most populous and second largest autonomous communities in Spain , stretching south from sunny cities Cordoba and Seville all the way to Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean sea . The name “Andalusia” was derived from the Arabic word “ Al- Andalus”. Andalusia boasts many delicious foods offering travelers a chance to stimulate their palettes while exploring. 

 I am not getting too much into exploring the country, so let’s explore their cuisine.  I had chosen four interesting, yet super simple recipes. 

      1. Andalusian Stuffed Tomatoes.
      2. Andalusian Courgette Tortillas.
      3. Andalusian Gazpacho.
      4. Polvorones .



 Ingredients:

Tomatoes – 6
Bread Crumbs – 100 gms
Parsley – 3 TBLS (Optional )
Salt
Black Pepper
Butter – 2 TBLS
Onion – 1

Grated Cheese – I used mozzarella & Parmesan
Thyme (Optional )




Instructions:

1.     Cut the tomatoes into half, Scoop out the seeds and juice (Save it for the stuffing).
2.    Combine breadcrumbs, Parsley, salt, pepper along with the saved tomato seeds and juice.
3.   Pre heat the oven at 300F.
4.   In a saucepan, melt the butter, sauté the onions till they become soft.
5.   Add the breadcrumbs mixture to the sautéed onions and mix . Keep off the heat add some cheese and mix it.
6.   Spoon the filling to the tomatoes. Top it with some more cheese and bake it for 15 minutes.

7.     Serve it warm.
