Tortilla espanola (spanish omelet)
4 Servings
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
4 | tablespoons | Olive oil |
2 | larges | Onions; peeled & cut into thin slices |
2 | pounds | Potatoes, peeled & cut into thin slices |
6 | Eggs | |
Salt; to taste | ||
Pepper; to taste |
Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan. Saute the onions over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until soft but not brown. Drain the onions in a colander, reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil from the pan.
Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes and drain in the colander. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and stir in the onions and potatoes; add salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the reserved oil over high heat in a heavy nonstick pan or a well- seasoned cast iron skillet. Add the egg mixture and cook for 2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. Place the pan in a preheated 400-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set. Invert the tortilla onto a round platter. Cut into wedge-shaped slices and serve with a salad.
NOTE: In Spain, a tortilla isn't the cornmeal flat bread we think of, but a sort of omelet loaded with onions and peppers. This is a popular item at tapas bars, and an easy dinner to make after an evening of celebrating.
