Spanish Omlette

Spanish Omlette

Ingredients:

* lots of potatoes
* at least 8 large eggs
olive oil
* onions
* garlic
* lots of salt and pepper to season




Method:

1. Chop everything into small pieces
2. In a large pan, fry the potatoe. (Potatoe pieces must be completely covered by the oil
3. When the potatoes are soft, drain them and fry the onion and garlic (and any other veg) in the same pan. 
4. When the onions are soft, add the potatoes
5. Add the eggs that have been beaten and seasoned to the pan
6. With a spatula, move the mixture whilst the eggs are cooking. When it starts to look like wet scrambled egg, pat the mixture down and leave to cook without stirring from the last half. 
7. In order to not burn the bottom, finish the omlette in the oven, grilling the top so that the omlette is evenly cooked. 


Extra Tips:

* you can add any veg to this if you want to use something up. We added peppers but you can use peas or carrots.. Anything. 

* we used baby potatoes so we didn't have to peel them as a time saver.

Millionaire’s Shortbread

Millionaire's Shortbread

Ingredients:

(Shortbread)
* 250g plain flour
* 50g caster sugar
* 150g unsalted butter

(Topping) 
* 1 tin of condensed milk
* 75g light brown sugar
* 175g butter
* 250g milk chocolate




Method:

1. Mix all the shortbread ingredients together and use the rubbing method to make crumbs. Press crumbs together to make a ball.
2. Press the mixture into a tin. The tin must have high walls so that the caramel and chocolate can set inside it. 
3. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes and then put in the oven at 170' for 20 minutes approx.
4. Take the shortbread out of the oven and leave to cool. When cool add to the fridge for 20 minutes whilst you make the caramel.
5. To make the caramel, add the condensed milk, sugar and butter to a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring continuously, for 10 minutes until thick.
6. Cool the caramel slightly and then top the shortbread. Leave to cool again.
7. When the caramel has hardened, melt the chocolate and pour over the top. 


Extra Tips:

* Dark chocolate is usually used but I used milk chocolate as I prefer it. I also drizzled melted white chocolate over the top for a nice finish.
