Recipe Information
Spanish Omelette
Cultural Context
Originating in Spain, the Spanish omelette, or Tortilla Española, is a beloved dish made with simple ingredients like eggs, potatoes, and onions. Traditionally served as a tapa, it embodies the Spanish ethos of using local, fresh produce. Today, variations exist worldwide, with some adding ingredients like chorizo or bell peppers, showcasing its adaptability and global appeal.
olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: vegetable oil
Avocado oil is healthier and has a high smoke point.
onions
🥗Healthier: leeks
💰Cheaper: scallions
Leeks offer a milder flavor, while scallions are often less expensive.
eggs
🥗Healthier: egg whites
💰Cheaper: egg substitute
Egg whites reduce cholesterol while maintaining protein.
potatoes
🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes
💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns
Sweet potatoes add nutrients, while frozen hash browns save prep time.
Peel the onions, cut in half and slice thinly.
Peel the potatoes, cut in half and slice into approx 3mm – ⅛ inch slices.
Dice the chorizo sausage into small cubes.
Place on high heat, a deep frying pan.
Add all the oil to frying pan and heat to approx. 160ºC 320ºF or throw a piece of onion and it should sizzle a little.
Add the sliced onions and cook until slightly caramelised (a touch of golden brown).
Add the sliced potatoes to the onions, cook for 5 minutes.
Add the thyme.
Add the chorizo sausage and continue cooking 10 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
Crack 8 whole eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Add salt and a generous grind of pepper to eggs and give them a light beat using a fork.
Place a strainer over a heat proof bowl, add potatoes straining all the oil in the bowl.
Transfer the hot potatoes into the egg mixture and gently stir for one minute.
Cover with foil and kitchen towel and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
Add a non stick pan (27cm – 10-½ inch) to moderate heat.
Add one tbs of the strained oil.
Once oil is moderately hot, add the egg mixture, reduce the heat to medium low, flatten the mixture using a spatula and cook for 3 minutes.
Place an upside down cold plate over the frying pan and in one swoop, flip omelette into plate.
Gently slide the omelette back into the same hot pan and continue cooking another 3 minutes.
Give the pan a little shake so the omelette bounces from side to side moulding its nice shape.
Feel that the omelette is firm and then repeat process by placing the upside down plate over frying pan and flipping once more.
Leave to rest 10 minutes, cut into wedges (like a pizza) and serve warm with a dressed salad.
