A take on a Spanish French Fry meal....
A couple of days ago I had a craving for some food that I ate in Spain while abroad. I remember thinking it was strange how they incorporated french fries into some of their dishes. It was not just a side dish, but the fries were eaten WITH meat (chicken, pork, etc) and peppers, all scrambled with some egg. It was different, but so good.
They did not use sweet potato fries, but I chose to when I cooked this up for my lunch. Good choice.
My own ingredients:
-sweet potato fries-onion
-red pepper
-mushrooms
-spinach
-2 eggs
-olive oil, salt, garlic
*add any vegetables you like, but red bell pepper is vegetable the Spaniards used, and there is a reason for it :)
*add any meat if you want, but the egg scrambled with it all is a must!
Directions:
-Cook your own size serving of french fries according to package directions in oven.
-While fries are roasting, add your preference of vegetables into a saute pan.
-I first sauteed white onion and sliced red bell peppers with some olive oil, garlic, and salt
-After onion and red pepper were half-way done (1-2 minutes), I added sliced mushrooms and a handful of spinach.
-Add 2 eggs and scramble all together.
-Add cooked french fries into the pan and let the egg finish cooking around the fries and vegetables.
Enjoy without any sauce, or add some salsa or ketchup. In Spain, they have a delicious red sauce they enjoy with potatoes or french fries but I have no idea how to create that masterpiece. :( So, until I figure that one out, ketchup or salsa works like a charm.
