    3. Heat a 23cm non-stick frying pan then tip in the potato and onion mixture, followed by the ham and peppers and a little seasoning.
    4. Pour the egg mixture over, moving the ingredients around with a fork before leaving to gently cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until the egg is just set.
    5. Finish cooking the tortilla under the grill for 2-3 minutes until golden. If serving cold, leave to stand in the pan then cut into wedges. Serve with some continental salad leaves.

    Cook's tips

    To make the tortilla the traditional Spanish way, cook the onion and potato in 150ml olive oil then drain off the excess. This adds a lovely sweetness to the finished dish.

    Drinks recommendation

    A Pinot Noir Rose from France is perfect for a picnic, and would match the sweetness of this dish beautifully.
