Spanish Tortilla Recipe (Tortilla de Patates)
Served with Aioli
Ebelskivers with lemon curd and berries
For the Lemon Curd:
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (4-6 lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
Bring an inch of water in a large saucepan to a simmer. In a bowl that fits on the saucepan but does not touch the simmering water, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar and eggs. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (this can take between 10 and 30 minutes). Add the butter, one cube at a time, stirring until it has melted before adding the next. Once all the butter has been added, place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool slightly and set up.
Main:
Carmelized French Toast (I omitted the extra sugar in the recipe, and used raw turbino sugar crystals to coat the slices -but granulated sugar works too). One recipe will make about 10 slices. I bought the challah bread from Harmons (they even sell challah with sugar on top which is great!). I cooked the toast at 350’ on my griddle. Use tongs to flip the slices rather than a spatula, it works a little better. Also be sure to let those slices soak for a pretty significant amount of time!
Homemade Carmel Syrup
Afghanistan Tomato Egg dish: Coat the bottom of a large frying pan with 3/4C olive oil heated at med. Add 4 large chopped tomatoes. Salt the tomatoes then simmer on med low with lid. After a couple minutes, mash the tomatoes (can add some tomato sauce if needed) and add 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 Tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp Tumeric powder, 1tsp salt, 1 tsp Cumin, 1 tsp chili flakes, 1 tsp of onion powder, dash of allspice, 2 cloves of garlic minced. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water. Put the lid back on and let it simmer some more. Add the juice and pulp of 2 small limes, and some pepper. Turn up heat to med-high and add the eggs (12), then salt, pepper, paprika then replace lid and let cook. Then scrape/lift the eggs off the bottom of the pan, then gently lift and flip them. Place lid on top and cook more until desired doneness of the yolk. Serve immediately.

Homemade English muffins
Dessert:
Sweet rolls
With this roll recipe
Passion Fruit tart (for the mini tarts, I rolled out the dough and cut it with a flower shaped circle cookie cutter, poke with fork tines, then gently press them down into muffin tins. Cook at 400 for 10-12 min.)
Passion fruit mousse (this is another fun recipe you might want to try with passion fruit pulp)
Buy your frozen passion fruit pulp (pictured here) from Rancho Mexican Market (in clearfield or SLC), you can also get frozen passion fruit seeds from Rancho. The seeds are needed to spoon over top (or you could use pomegranate arils)
