Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large white onion, sliced
4 tbsp olive oil
25g butter
400g waxy potatoes, peeled, quartered and finely sliced
6 garlic cloves
8 eggs, beaten
handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus extra to serve
1 baguette, sliced
4 vine tomatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Put a large non-stick frying pan on a low heat. Cook the onion slowly in the oil and butter until soft but not brown - this should take about 15 mins. Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes (if using) by scoring the skins with a cross, putting them in a bowl and pouring over just-boiled water. Drain the water after 2-3 mins and the skins will peel away easily. You can then coarsely grate them.
  • Add the potatoes to the pan, then cover and cook for a further 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally to make sure they fry evenly. When the potatoes are soft and the onion is shiny, crush 2 garlic cloves and stir in, followed by the beaten eggs.
  • Put the lid back on the pan and leave the tortilla to cook gently. After 20 mins, the edges and base should be golden, the top set but the middle still a little wobbly. To turn it over, slide it onto a plate and put another plate on top, turn the whole thing over and slide it back into the pan to finish cooking.
  • Once cooked, transfer to a plate and serve the tortilla warm or cold, scattered with the chopped parsley. To accompany the tortilla, take slices of warmed baguette, stab all over with a fork and rub with the remaining garlic, pile on the grated tomatoes and season with sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced inch thick
1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp-tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Uncover, and cook off excess liquid, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, parsley, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet, and stir to distribute evenly. With the back of a spatula, press down on vegetables so they lay flat and are submerged.
  • Bake until tortilla is set, 12 to 16 minutes. To unmold, run a rubber spatula around edge of skillet to release tortilla; invert onto a serving plate. Drizzle tortilla with oil; garnish with parsley.

TORTILLA ESPANOLA (SPANISH TORTILLA)



Tortilla Espanola (Spanish Tortilla) image

Unlike most omelets, a Spanish tortilla is served at room temperature. It is the classic tapa, prepared all over Spain.

Provided by sjmoraes

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Tapas

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup olive oil
2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, sliced into rings
6 eggs
1 roasted red pepper, drained and cut into strips
3 ounces Spanish serrano ham, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add half of the potato slices, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. When done, remove potatoes to a large bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Cook the remaining potatoes in the oil until tender, then add to the bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Gently toss potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion rings, and gently cook until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Spoon onions onto a plate, and allow to cool while the potatoes finish cooking.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in cooled onions, roasted peppers, and serrano ham. Gently fold in cooked potatoes.
  • Heat the skillet with the reserved oil over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, and gently cook until the sides have started to set and the bottom has turned golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Loosen the tortilla with a spatula if needed, then carefully slide onto a large plate. Turn the skillet upside down and place onto the uncooked side of the tortilla. Turn the skillet right-side-up, and remove the plate. Return the skillet to the stove, and continue cooking until the tortilla has set in the center, about 4 minutes.
  • Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into six wedges and sprinkle with parsley to serve.

SPANISH TORTILLA



Spanish Tortilla image

The Spanish tortilla has nothing in common with the Mexican variety except its shape and its name. One is just a bread. The other can be an appetizer, a snack, or even a light meal. But the Spanish tortilla has another advantage: because it is better at room temperature than it is hot, it should be made in advance, anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. In its most basic form, the tortilla is a potato and egg open-faced omelet that derives most of its flavor from olive oil. Onions or scallions can replace the potato in part or entirely, as can cooked greens like chard. The only hard part is turning the partly formed tortilla, so do it swiftly and carefully (using a nonstick skillet makes it much easier). The worst that will happen is that a little potato and egg will be left behind when you return the cake to the skillet. If you can't bring yourself to risk the flip, just slide the pan into a 375-degree oven until the eggs are completely set, but not overcooked.

Categories     brunch, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 3 main-course or 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 pounds potatoes, 3 or 4 medium
1 medium onion
1 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 extra-large or jumbo eggs

Steps:

  • Peel and thinly slice potatoes and onions; it's easiest if you use a mandoline. Meanwhile, heat oil in an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. After 3 or 4 minutes, drop in a potato slice. When tiny bubbles appear around its edges, add potatoes, onions, a good pinch of salt and a liberal sprinkling of pepper. Gently turn mixture in oil with a wooden spoon, and adjust heat so oil bubbles lazily.
  • Cook, turning potatoes gently every few minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a small knife. Adjust the heat so they do not brown. If potatoes begin to break, they are overdone; stop cooking immediately. As potatoes cook, beat eggs with some salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander, reserving oil. Wipe out skillet, and heat over a medium flame for a minute. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Gently mix warm potatoes with eggs, and add to skillet. As soon as edges firm up, after a minute or so, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 5 minutes.
  • Insert a rubber spatula all around edges of tortilla to make sure it will slide from pan. The top will still be runny. Carefully slide out onto a plate. Cover with another plate, and holding plates tightly, invert them. Add another tablespoon oil to skillet, and use the spatula to coax tortilla back in. Cook 5 minutes, then slide from skillet onto a clean plate. Serve warm (not hot), or at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.

SPANISH TORTILLA WITH TOMATO-PEPPER SALAD



Spanish Tortilla With Tomato-Pepper Salad image

A Spanish potato tortilla is an egg dish unlike any other. It doesn't resemble the French omelet, which is loose and wobbly. Nor is quite like an Italian frittata, which is puffy and custardy. Instead, a tortilla is a solid cake with just enough egg to bind the soft, sliced potatoes. The first step to making it is to gently cook sliced potatoes and onions in plenty of olive oil. And plenty means at least a cup, or maybe two. It sounds like a lot but most of it stays in the pan (and you can reuse it). Other than adding great flavor, the oil turns the potatoes velvety and luscious. Just make sure the heat is low enough so the potatoes and onions cook but don't brown very much, though a few darkened spots are okay. In Spain, a tortilla is a tapas staple nibbles with drinks. But it's also delightful for brunch, dinner or lunch, served either warm or at room temperature.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 medium Yukon gold potatoes (1 1/4 pounds)
1 white onion, diced
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
About 1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
6 large eggs
3/4 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1/3 cup diced Italian frying pepper (also called Cubanelle), or green bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced scallion, white and green parts
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and halve them lengthwise. Thinly slice them crosswise. Pat potatoes dry with a dish towel or paper towels. Toss potatoes with onion, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat and warm through. Add oil, then add potatoes and onion. (You need enough oil to almost cover the potatoes, so adjust amount according to your pan size.) Cook until potatoes are just tender enough to cut with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting heat so vegetables do not burn or take on too much color. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes and onions to a colander set over a bowl and let cool. Reserve 3 1/2 tablespoons oil from the skillet to use for finishing the recipe. (You can reuse the rest of the remaining oil, too; store it in the refrigerator.)
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil in an oven-safe 8- to 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir potato mixture into eggs. Pour mixture into pan and use a spatula to flatten out surface. Cook, using spatula to occasionally loosen eggs from edges of pan, until top is almost set, with just a small amount of liquid remaining, about 5 minutes. Transfer to oven and cook until top is just set, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Slide tortilla onto a plate.
  • In a large bowl, toss together tomato, pepper, scallion, garlic and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Top tortilla with salad and serve warm or at room temperature.

PEPPER AND POTATO TORTILLA



Pepper and Potato Tortilla image

"Traditionally a Spanish dish, tortilla is best eaten cold in chunky wedges and makes an ideal picnic food." This comes via 500 All Time Great Recipes. We love this! Notice how I have not included the cooling time for the potatoes. I have, also, used leftover potatoes for this. This will serve 2 for main dish, or 4 if with some other sides.

Categories     Spanish

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 red peppers, thinly sliced
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated, divided
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Do not peel the potatoes, but wash them well.
  • Parboil them for about 20 minutes, then drain and, and when they are cool enough to handle, slice them thickly.
  • Switch on the broiler so that it warms up while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  • In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic and peppers over a moderate heat for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the potatoes and continue frying, stirring from time to time until the potatoes are completely cooked and the vegetables are soft.
  • Add a little extra oil if the pan seems rather too dry.
  • Pour in half the beaten eggs, then sprinkle over half the grated Cheddar cheese, then the rest of the egg.
  • Season with salt and pepper and finish with a layer of cheese.
  • Continue to cook over a low heat, without stirring, half covering the pan with a lid to help set the eggs.
  • When the mixture is firm, flash the pan under the hot broiler to seal the top just lightly.
  • Leave the tortilla in the pan to cool.
  • This helps it firm up further and makes it easier to turn out.
  • Cut into generous wedges to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or frying pan to ensure the tortilla cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with potatoes or they will not cook evenly.
  • Be patient when cooking the tortilla. It takes time for the eggs to set and the potatoes to cook through.
  • If you are using a non-stick skillet, you may not need to add any oil.
  • Serve the tortilla immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Spanish egg tortilla is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. The charred peppers, goat cheese, potatoes, and caramelized onions add a unique flavor and texture to this classic dish. The parsley salad in sherry vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful accompaniment.
