Recipes of Spain Tortilla
Eggs can be used in a variety of ways and one of the most popular ways of using them in Spain is in the traditional Spanish Tortilla.
Ingredients
4 - 5 large potatoes peeled and thinly sliced and salted.
1 large onion finely chopped.
Olive oil (or oil of your choice) for frying.
4 - 5 large eggs
Method
- Put approx half inch of olive oil in a frying pan and heat.
- Add slices of potatoes and onion and fry for about 5 mins (keep turning so potatoes don't stick or go brown). When ready cover with a lid or plate and drain off excess oil.
- Beat eggs together, add seasoning and pour over potatoes and onion mixture. Leave to cook for 5 - 10 mins (depending on size of frying pan).
- Cover frying pan with a plate, turn frying pan over and slip tortilla onto plate then slide tortilla back into the rying pan - gently pressing down with spatular.
- Allow to cook for a few more minutes and if you want - flip tortilla over again.
- To test if it's ready, insert a knife into the tortilla - if it comes out clean it's OK.
Turn onto a plate and cut into slices.
This versatile dish can be eaten hot or cold as a tapas or as a delicious meal for breakfast OR for lunch or dinner with salad and crunchy bread.
