Mistress of the note
1. In non-classical versions, Spanish tortilla recipes, by and large, include everything that is combined with each other. The main thing is cooking technology.
2. Do not go through with the addition of spices. Quite enough dried basil. And without it, the tortilla does not lose in taste.
3. It is advisable to use olive oil. It is needed not so much, but the taste will be different than that of a tortilla cooked in vegetable oil.
4. You can add any seafood to the tortilla. The main thing is that they should be of high quality, and not the “dead” cocktail that is sold in domestic markets.
5. Always choose high-quality products, and on the table there will be a really tasty dish, and not “something that you can try once”. Treat your body with love and respect.
