Spanish Tortilla

About This Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Put a large non-stick frying pan on a low heat.

2. 2

   Cook the onion slowly in the oil and butter until soft but not brown – this should take about 15 mins.

3. 3

   Add the potatoes, cover the pan and cook for a further 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally to make sure they fry evenly.

4. 4

   When the potatoes are soft and the onion is shiny, crush 2 garlic cloves and stir in, followed by the beaten eggs.

5. 5

   Put the lid back on the pan and leave the tortilla to cook gently.

6. 6

   After 20 mins, the edges and base should be golden, the top set but the middle still a little wobbly.

7. 7

   To turn it over, slide it onto a plate and put another plate on top, turn the whole thing over and slide it back into the pan to finish cooking.

8. 8

   Once cooked, transfer to a plate and serve the tortilla warm or cold, scattered with the chopped parsley.

9. 9

   To accompany, take slices of warmed baguette, stab all over with a fork and rub with the remaining garlic, pile on grated tomatoes and season with sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
