Chillies for drying

Chillies for drying

On my way to Badajoz, which is on the Portuguese border, I came across local farmers turning the red peppers spread out to dry on huge canvas sheets in the warm late autumn sun. The colours were magnificent.
Tortilla Estilo Badajoz is a hot chilli omelette and is from Parador Nacional 'Via de la Prata', Merida, Extremadura.
First off you fry a spicy chorizo sausage in olive oil with a teaspoon of paprika and some chillies to taste
Stir in beaten eggs and fry to set (quantity up to 8)
Fold it over and divide when done.
It is a great meal to have with a green salad.
For those who like it hot!
