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.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped to a paste with a pinch kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground Spanish paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/4 pounds well-marbled ground pork shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Spanish olive oil
1 dozen large eggs
4 ounces Gurroxta cheese, grated
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
6 piquillo peppers, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chorizo: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until reduced. Remove from the heat, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Mix in the ground pork gently to combine. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  • For the tortilla: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Return the pan over medium heat.
  • Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the cheese, parsley, peppers and chorizo and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the pan, moving it around in the pan to help the tortilla to rise. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally, until it has set. Transfer to the oven and bake until set, about 15 minutes.
  • When the tortilla is firm, remove from the oven, place a large plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a world of difference in the flavor of your tortilla. Look for ripe, flavorful bell peppers, and use good-quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tortilla, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly and will make the tortilla more difficult to flip.
  • Be patient: Cooking the tortilla takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a raw or undercooked tortilla.
  • Let the tortilla cool slightly before serving: This will help the tortilla to set and will make it easier to slice.

With its combination of potatoes, eggs, and bell peppers, this tortilla is a hearty and satisfying meal that's sure to please everyone at the table.
