  1. IT GOES ON Onion

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onion for 8-10 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir through the red wine vinegar and a sweetener of choice, to taste, and cook for a further 5 minutes until the onion is caramelised. Remove the pan from the heat, season and set aside.

  2. MUSHROOM MANIA

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms and chopped Thyme for 4-5 minutes until soft and golden, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion and season.

  3. BRING THE ZING

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche, ¾ of the chopped Parsley, and ¾ of the jalapeño relish to taste. Wipe down the pan if necessary and return it to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, sauté the shredded spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan on completion, season and set aside. In a salad bowl, place the quartered tomatoes and diced Cucumber with a drizzle of oil and season. Toss to combine and set aside.

  4. QUESADILLA ME, BABY!

    Place a grill or nonstick pan over a high heat. When hot, add 1 tortilla and cook on one side for 30 seconds or until slightly toasted and charred. Remove from the pan, then repeat with the remaining tortilla. Place 1 tortilla, toasted-side up, on a board. Top with the caramelised onions, mushrooms, sautéed Spinach leaves, and grated cheese. Then sandwich with the remaining tortilla, toasted-side down. Return the grill pan or pan to a high heat. Add the quesadilla and cook for 1-2 minutes until toasted on one side and the cheese is melted. On completion, cut into quarters until you have 4 triangles.

  5. TIME TO DINE!

    Time to plate up a quesadilla you won't forget in a hurry! Arrange the flavour-packed triangles on a plate with dollops of the jalapeño crème fraîche and side with some tomato salsa. Garnish with the remaining chopped Parsley and jalapeño relish. Tuck in!
