Tortilla (Spanish Omelette)
Description
This tortilla begins by slowly cooking thin slices of new potatoes with shallots and crushed garlic in olive oil over low heat. This step softens the potatoes and draws out sweetness from the onions while developing slight crispness on the potatoes’ edges. Eggs whisked simply with salt and pepper are then poured over the mixture and cooked gently to create a cohesive, fluffy texture.
Once partially set, the omelette is flipped using a plate to cook the other side, resulting in a firm yet tender finish throughout its thickness. The balance of textures includes the softness of the eggs complemented by the delicate crispness and mild flavor of the potatoes and onions.
This dish is versatile for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal, served warm or at room temperature. It can be sliced into wedges for sharing or packed for a picnic.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 shallot sliced
- 1 garlic crushed, clove
- 6 potato sliced, new
- 6 egg large
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoon Olive oil in a frying pan and add 4 Shallots, 1 Garlic clove and 6 New potatoes (sliced). Cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes become a little crispy and the onions have softened.
- Whisk 6 Egg in a bowl and season with 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Add the eggs to the potatoes and cook on a gentle heat for around 8 minutes.
- Put a plate on top of the frying pan (big enough so it covers it) and then carefully flip the pan upside down whilst holding the plate and then slide the tortilla back into the frying pan so it is now cooking the other side. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, so the eggs are cooked through.
Notes
- Wrap the tortilla well to store and refrigerate for up to three days.
- Cooked tortillas freeze well and can be stored frozen for up to six months; quality remains good for that duration.
