10982 "torpizza":latest "fusion" Cuisine

Obviously, some people have lots of imagination. A Spanish chef has created the latest in "fusion" cuisine: the "Torpizza", a mixture between the Spanish "tortilla" or potato omeletta with the usual Italian pizza toppings, that is to say tomato sauce, mozzarella, ham, chicken, seafood..... whatever you like.
I have not had a taste of the new dish, but the creators are already busy selling franchises.
I have not found an original site in English, this is an automatic translation from the Spanish newspaper; however, it may give you a rough idea....

I am not quite sure about the results.... possibly, I prefer just plain "Pizza" or "Tortilla" according to the traditional recipes. :laughs:

P.S.The translation is really awful.....

Sacrilege!!! Here's a recipe for it - [url=http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=40099]Torpizza Recipe[/url]

Sorry Sally, but it is not the same recipe. The "torpizza" for which there is a recipe in English is an American concoction using Mexican "tortillas", which are made of corn flour, with a pizza topping. This is a brand new idea using the Spanish "tortilla", or egg, onion and potato omelette with the pizza topping.
Here is a recipe for the base, or Spanish "tortilla":

The creator recommends to have a thinner "tortilla" than average for the base.

As for the toppings, use a bit of Italian imagination.....
