Feta Cheese, Peas and herb Tortilla by James Ramsden
I had a fun catch up with James Ramsden at his home when I went lunch the other day. He cooked a a Spanish Tortilla using Feta Cheese, Pea, herbs and Lurpak Cooking Mist and you can find a recipe for this below.
This is a very versatile egg recipe where you can add any ingredients that you have at home. The recipe below is a version with broad beans but for this lunch, James made one with feta cheese, inspired by his recent trip to Greece.
We talked about how he has developed several recipes using this new Lurpak product and this was one of those dishes. The Cooking Mist is a light oil spray which is good for using in a frying pan when you want to cook with less oil or it can be used to spray onto meat and vegetables to glaze or baste when you are doing some roasting. The Cooking Mist is made with rapeseed oil and butter, so it has a higher heating point than plain butter. Not unlike the Lurpak Cooking Liquid which I used in another recipe.
We talked about his cook books
, he has another new cook book in pipeline, so look out for that.

I’m quite impressed with the Lurpak Cooking Mist as it’s really versatile. Cooking sprays is something I have been looking for in the UK and used to buy something similar from the US. Cooking sprays have been widely used in the US as a way of using less oil when cooking healthier dishes. There are so many other ways to use this product and you can find more recipes using the Cooking Mist here : http://www.lurpak.co.uk/uk/our-products/cooks-range/cooking-mist/
