- 2 eggplants
- 1/2 block of feta
- 2 sprigs of thyme
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Oil for frying

Serve 4:
- 1 1/3 lb (600g) of potatoes

Directions
1. Peel the potatoes, rinse, and dry with paper towels. Cut into thin slices and sauté in olive oil for 15 minutes.
2. Break the eggs and beat the omelet. Season and add the potatoes.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet with a maximum diameter of 15/20 cm (if larger, the tortilla will be too thin) and pour the egg/potato mixture. Cook for a few minutes, then turn the tortilla over using a plate to cook the other side.
4. Put it on a plate and cut the tortilla into cubes.
3. Sweet Pepper Rolls with Ricotta
Serve 4:
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 3 tbsp ricotta
- 1 tsp olive oil

3. Remove skin from peppers, cut them into thin slices. Put some ricotta on each strip end and then roll it up. Hold the pepper roll with a bamboo skewer or a toothpick.
