This is a quick dish that can very easily be prepared in advanced and thrown into the pan for lunch. However, I could not remember the name of the dish, only that it was something "portugese" and the ingredients. Let's ask Chef Ai for help?
Q: Is there a portugese dish that includes julienned potatoes, zucchini as well as leek and eggs?
Chef Ai: Yes, there is a Portuguese dish called "torta de batata" that includes julienned potatoes, zucchini, and leek. This dish is similar to a frittata or a quiche and is made by layering thinly sliced vegetables in a baking dish and then pouring a mixture of beaten eggs and milk over the top.
Q: My own "torte de batata" recipe includes the following ingredients: 2 large potatoes (200 gr), 1 zuchini (200 gr), half a leek (200 gr), 2 carrots (200 gr) and 8 eggs. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, cayenne. It is cooked in a pan on the stove and not in the oven, starting with potatoes and carrots first, then zuchini and leeks. At the end you add eggs to make sure they scramble together in the dish. Can you create a step by step recipe for me and also let me know the nutrient information?
Chef Ai: Certainly! Here is a step-by-step recipe for your Portuguese potato, zucchini, leek, and carrot torte:
