Spanish omelette (with a twist) Spanish tortilla is a popular Spanish recipe that is widely eaten in all Spanish speaking countries. It is made with eggs, olive oil and potatoes mainly and sometimes with onions added in it too.
But I’m preparing it with Mutton, tomato and butter to give it a relishing twist!
You can skip mutton if you want but believe me it makes the meal rich and filling.
It tasted unbelievably fantastic. By adding a generous amount of butter made the dish aromatic and palatable.
Try this at home and you’ll want it again and again!
