Paul’s Fuente de la Higuera Fry-up

When we British talk of a fry-up we think of bacon, sausages, eggs, fried bread, etc. A Spaniard who orders a fritura expects to get a selection of fried fish, eg fritura malagueña.

How about this as a fry-up? Paul put together all the late-Summer vegetables he’d collected from his huerto in the last couple of days and made this:

 

Fuente de la Higuera Fry-Up

Ingredients

Fresh Mediterranean vegetables – use whatever you’ve got or buy what you need from a good supermarket. I used tomato, onions, courgettes, aubergines (two colours), a red pepper, a handful of small green peppers and a few potatoes. Plus garlic, of course.

 

Method 1 – Baked in the oven

  • Cut the vegetables into medium-sized chunks.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C
  • Oil a baking tray with olive/coconut/almond oil and coat the vegetable chunks well by rolling them around with your fingers.
  • When the oven reaches temperature place the baking tray in the middle of the oven.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the veg chunks begin to turn golden brown.
  • Serve as it is or with rice or pasta.

 

Method 2 – Fried

  • Slice or dice the vegetables as you prefer.
  • Heat 2 tablespoonfuls of olive/coconut/almond oil in a large frying pan.
  • Add the prepared veg and fry, turning/tossing continually.
  • Serve as above with rice or pasta.

 

What to drink?

A nice glass or two of sidra from Asturias is a delicious and refreshing drink to accompany this dish. I don’t recommend Ladrón de Manzanas or La Prohibida – they’re too sweet (and too expensive!)

 

Note: Paul called his experimental dish Fuente de la Higuera Fry-Up because he lives in Fuente de la Higuera, a pedanía just outside Ronda. He also liked the alliteration of the letter ‘F’.
