Hello Steemians! Today I am going to show you how to prepare a Spanish Tortilla.
In Spain they call it “Tortilla de Patatas” (Potato Tortilla) to distinguish it from a plain (French) omelette. For the rest of us is either “Spanish Tortilla” or “Spanish Omelette”, both imply the use of potatoes.
You will need:
| 6 eggs | 1 Spanish Chorizo (pork sausage seasoned with paprika) |
|---|---|
| 1/2 kg Potatoes | 2 Onions |
| 1/8 Bell Pepper (red) | 1/8 Bell Pepper (yellow) |
| Sunflower Oil | Olive Oil |
| Salt | Pepper |
Peel all the potatoes then cut then in very thin slices. Put them in water and set aside.
Cut the onions and bell peppers julienne style. Peel the Spanish chorizo (pork sausage) and cut in slices.
Sauté the chorizo together with the onion and bell peppers in a pan that later will be used to elaborate our tortilla.
Fry the potatoes using sunflower oil and remove the excess of oil using absorbent paper. If you want your fry potatoes to feel crunchy, you must salt them right after frying them.
Break 6 eggs and beat them, mixing with a bit of salt and pepper.
Add the fried potatoes and the sautéed chorizo.
Mix altogether and put the pan on hot heat. Put the mix and wait for about 5 minutes, then turn it around.
Cook for another 5 minutes if you want it juicy. If you don’t want your tortilla to be juicy, cook for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Bon Appétit!
