I would really like to make them this weekend.

I know it's just potatoes in a tomato sauce but how do I cook the potatoes and how what does the sauce consist of?

Thank you.

I think you should definitely include chorizo somewhere as cheap,can buy at any supermarket and you can just cook with a tin of chopped toms,some garlic and herbs and hey presto!!

A' say lass, thas not from blummin Ilkley moor and a don't talk like that duck.

I am a laydeeeeeeeeeeee!

Whymummy, it just said in the recipe use beef or veal mixed with pork. I didn't know if beef and lamb would be a strange combination.

Right so far I am doing...

Honey and lemon grilled chicken
Patatas Bravas
Spanish omelette
Albondigas
A DIY tuna salad
and a partridge in a pear tree!

That should be enough for 4 people shouldn't it?

P.S Have you thought of doing spanish cooking classes WM?

Oooohhh yes desert!
Any suggestions, remember people, keep it simple!

Forgot to add I might make my own bread as well and smear it with some sort of tasty sauce.

i'd love to,hmmmmmmmmm now you've giving me an idea,i was thinking about teaching spanish but cooking would be great,or i could do both at the same time,muchas gracias
i think what you're doing is plenty,just add some plates with olives,bread and a bowl with grated tomatoes,garlic,salt and olive oil to spread on the bread.i'm slabbering on the key board now

whymummy · 07/04/2005 15:05
