Spanish Classics: Spanish Tortilla and Cyclo Torremilanos, great combo for a weekend brunch. Egg dishes are probably the most popular food for breakfast, brunch or lunch all over the world. And who doesn’t like potatoes? So Spanish Tortilla, or Spanish omelette, is a win-win for us eggs-potatoes-lovers!
Furthermore, the recipe is so easy and simple, that you can get creative and add any veggies or meat into it. In fact, any leftovers from the fridge and it will be amazing!
INGREDIENTS, serves 2:
- Onions – 2 pcs
- Eggs – 4 pcs
- Potatoes – 4 medium
- Rosemary – 1 tsp
- Olive oil – 2 tbsp
- Salt and black pepper to the taste
COOKING METHOD:
- Peel and finely slice the onions. Put a small frying pan over a medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the onions.
- While your onions getting golden, peel the potatoes and carefully cut them into thin slices. Pat the potato slices dry with a clean tea towel. Add the potatoes to the onions.
NB! If you cook in this order, then the onions will be really caramelised and dark brown. If you prefer more delicate texture, add onions and potatoes together at the same time.
- Turn the heat down to low and cook for around 20-25 minutes, or until the potato slices are cooked through. Check and carefully turn them occasionally.
- Meantime, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season with a pinch of sea salt, black pepper and a bit of fresh rosemary, then whisk together with a fork.
- As soon as the onions and potatoes are cooked, remove the pan from the heat and carefully add them into the eggs. Carefully transfer the mixture back into the frying pan and place it over a low heat. Cook for around 20 minutes, or until there’s no runny egg on top.
- Check and loosen the sides of the tortilla. Carefully flip the pan over a dinner plate, then slide the tortilla back to the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
- Turn out the tortilla onto a serving board and serve hot or cold with a green salad.
- Spanish Tortilla perfectly pairs with Spanish wine, like Cyclo Torremilanos.
- Enjoy! :)
