INGREDIENTS:Salad:
1 medium eggplant
as needed, olive oil
to taste, salt and pepper
3 large red bell peppers, roasted and skinned
1 pint yellow tear-drop tomatoes, halved
½ cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
3 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup sherry vinegar
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

Tortilla:
as needed, olive oil
10 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 medium thinly sliced onions
3 Tbsp. minced garlic
to taste, salt and pepper
12 large eggs
¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
for garnish, 3 hard-cooked eggs, quartered
12 sprigs Italian parsley DIRECTIONS:Lightly brush eggplant
slices with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2
minutes per side; cool, cut in cubes. Place in large bowl.
Julienne-cut the roasted peppers; add to bowl, along with tomatoes
and olives. In a small bowl, blend oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and
pepper. Pour over vegetables. Refrigerate until serving.
In large pot, cook potatoes, onions and garlic over low heat in
enough oil to coat (about 1 ½ cups) until soft, about 20
minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Keep
warm.
In mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper.
In each of two non-stick pans (10-12-inch), heat ¼ cup olive
oil. Add half of beaten eggs and potato mixture to each pan. Cook
4-5 minutes over medium heat, then invert tortilla into
spray-coated same-size pan. Cook additional 4-5 minutes. Finish
cooking in 350°F oven until eggs are firm throughout with no
visible liquid egg remaining, about 6-8 minutes.
To serve, cut each tortilla into 6 slices. Place slice off-center
on plate. Add about 1/3 cup salad. Garnish with hard-cooked egg
wedge and parsley. Serve immediately. SERVINGS:12 servings
