Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 small onions, sliced
5 small Yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 large eggs, at room temperature
6 cloves garlic, chopped
6 large pimiento-stuffed olives, thinly sliced or coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
3/4 cup coarsely chopped or crumbled feta (about 3 ounces)
Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus sprigs for garnish
One 15-to-16-ounce bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained, juices reserved
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup Marcona almonds or hazelnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, peeled, chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add 2/3 cup water and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Scrape the potato mixture into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Wipe out and reserve the skillet. The potato mixture can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
  • Combine the eggs, garlic, olives, parsley, thyme and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl. Fold in the cheese and the cooled potato mixture.
  • Preheat the broiler. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook, uncovered, until the sides are set and the top edge begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Run a flexible heatproof rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the omelet. Cover tightly; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the center is almost set, about 5 minutes.
  • Broil the omelet until the top is fully cooked and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the omelet rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the omelet again around the sides and underneath as far as possible. Slide the omelet onto a platter and garnish with parsley and thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature with Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce.
  • Combine the bell peppers, oil, tomato paste, almonds, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, blend in the reserved roasted bell pepper juice, 1 teaspoonful at a time, to thin out the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

SOUTHWESTERN POTATO AND CELERY OMELET



Southwestern Potato and Celery Omelet image

This spicy omelet is much lighter than traditional cheese-packed Southwestern omelets. You don't need much oil to pan-fry this small amount of finely diced potato, and a little cheese goes a long way.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, for one, main course

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 stalk celery, cut in small dice
1 small potato (1 1/2 ounces), cut in 1/4-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 serrano pepper, minced (seeded if desired)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) grated Monterey Jack

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat in an 8-inch omelet pan and add the celery. Cook 1 minute, until it begins to soften, and add the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are lightly browned and just about tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chili and continue to cook, stirring, until the potato is tender, another 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, chives, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the omelet pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
  • As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the potato mixture down the middle of the "pancake" and top with the Monterey Jack, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality potatoes for the best flavor and texture. Look for firm, unblemished potatoes that are free of sprouts.
  • Peel the potatoes before grating them. This will help to prevent the omelet from becoming gummy.
  • Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. This will create long, thin strands that will cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. Cast iron skillets distribute heat evenly and create a crispy crust.
  • Heat the oil or butter in the skillet over medium heat before adding the potatoes. This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Stir them occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add the eggs to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Stir them gently to prevent them from scrambling.
