SWMBO\'s alternative recipe for savouries

Here's a top tip. We've banned crisps and suchlike from the boat - full of salt/fat and stuff. SWMBO's alternative recipe for a savoury snack is a winner:

Take a tortilla and apply a light covering of olive oil. Cut it up in to (about ten/twelve) segments. Three minutes in the oven. Job done, and excellent savoury to go with cheese, dips etc. I expect that there's still fat/salt in this alternative but certainly tastes much less fatty/salty. Also minimal stowage space required for the tortilla packs and long shelf life; excellent for the ship's stores...............you heard it here first!

(ps - My amendment to the recipe - great with fresh black pepper ground on after applying the olive oil!)

Just made these snacks. They are a bit chewy but perhaps I cooked them at the wrong temp. What is the correct temp? The potential for a tasty snack is there though!

Ah, technical question, not good on those, but I would say very hot. They should be crispy but not burned. Definitely not chewy. I'll ask SWMBO what temp and advise later!

Thanks for the tip. I myself make popcorn- minimal fat/oil, (just enough to stop corn from sticking), a quick blast in a covered saucepan, shaking well until it's stopped popping, then add your own flavouring- I like just a bit of black pepper or some other multi-spice barbeque-type seasoning. Uncooked popcorn lasts for years in the bag. Lots of fibre, too.

We always made fresh bread, we had to we were skint. But your right nothing better than a bit of extra virgin and cracked pepper
