Spanish omelette, also known as Spanish tortilla, is a Spanish traditional dish, definitely one of the signature dishes in Spanish cuisine.
It is an omelette made with eggs and potatoes, optionally including onion.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 large red onion
- 3 med potatoes sliced or cubed
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or some chili flakes/cayenne pepper
- Dhania fresh -chopped (optional)
- 1 medium red or green pepper (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Wash, peel and slice the potatoes, rinse them again and allow them to drain in a colander while you prepare other ingredients.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a pan and add the sliced potatoes and chopped onions. Stir fry and season well with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Cover and allow those to cook slowly (on low heat) for 15 minutes until the potatoes are nice and soft.
Step 4
Meanwhile, whisk the 6 eggs in a large bowl. Whisk them well and season a little more with salt and pepper.
Add the whisked eggs to the potato and onion. Mix a little so the egg mixes with the potato and spreads evenly around the pan. Reduce the heat and let it cook uncovered for 7 minutes.
Step 5
Cook both sides and when the omelette is ready, take it out onto a serving plate and cut into slices, pizza-like slices.
Garnish with Dhania and serve with any salad, crusty bread or cold beverage.
