Canarian Recipes: Sándwich de Salchicha y Tortilla

Fat Thursday is a tradition observed in parts of Spain and the Canary Islands; its name comes from the verb “lardear,” which means to spread sausage or pork fat on something.

Ingredients:

  • Bread
  • Sausage
  • Tomato, fresh or paste
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt, Pepper, Garlic
  • Oil (Butter optional)
  • Cheese (optional)

Preparation

  1. Cut the sausage into small, even pieces and place them in a frying pan.
  2. Add a little oil or butter if the sausage contains little fat.
  3. While the sausage is cooking, beat the eggs.
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add to the sausage .
  5. Once the eggs are set, flip the omelet and set it aside.
  6. Cut the bread in half and toast it. The crispy touch will contrast perfectly with the sausage omelet.
  7. Peel a clove of garlic and spread it on the bread.
  8. Slice the tomato in half and add to the bread, or spread with a little tomato paste. Season and add a little olive oil.
  9. Place the tortilla inside and, optionally, a little cheese.
  10. Serve your authentic Thursday Lardero Sandwich.
