arlene, i used to cook torta with banana leaves too when i was a teenager. learned the trick from my father. non-stick pans make banana leaves unnecessary but i must say that banana leaves do impart a wonderful subtle flavor to torta.

Hi Connie,
It’s holiday today and am catching up on your blog entries. Since I learned the tuna fritata from you, I’ve experimented on different kinds of torta. Loved the trick of putting it in the oven to cook & brown the top. (My mom used to cook torta with a banana leaf on the pan, so she can turn over. Watching her do it was truly intimidating for a kid like me back then.) Love your blog.

i love this recipe. it does not cost much but it sounds delicious and a complete food. sardines is loaded with protein, calcium and the new craze: omega-3. you’re da best connie. freshly ground pepper really kicks it up a notch.
