SPANISH OMELETTE RECIPE - BBC FOOD
Tortilla, or Spanish omelette, can be served as a main course or, because it is good served cold, it makes excellent picnic food. In Spain they serve it as tapas, cut into small cubes and speared with cocktail sticks - lovely with chilled amontillado sherry. Each serving provides 347 kcal, 17g protein, 20g carbohydrates (of which 3g sugars), 21.5g fat (of which 4.5g saturates), 2.5g fibre and 0.8g salt.

Steps:
- Thinly pare the potatoes using a potato peeler and slice them into thin rounds; work quickly because you don't want the slices to brown. Rub the slices in a clean tea towel to dry them.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the frying pan and, when it's smoking hot, add the potatoes and onions. Toss them around in the oil to get a good coating, then turn the heat right down to its lowest setting, add a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper, put a lid on the frying pan and cook gently for 20 minutes, or until tender. Turn them over halfway through and shake the pan from time to time, as they are not supposed to brown very much but just gently stew in the oil.
- Meanwhile, break the eggs into a large bowl and, using a fork, whisk them lightly – it's important not to overbeat them. Finally, add some seasoning. Tip the onions and potatoes into the eggs in the bowl.
- Put the frying pan back on the heat, add the rest of the oil and turn the heat back up to medium. Mix the potatoes and eggs thoroughly before pouring them into the frying pan and turning the heat down to its lowest setting. Now forget all about French omelettes and be patient, because it's going to take 20–25 minutes to cook slowly, uncovered.
- Every now and then draw the edge in gently with a palette knife, as this will give it a lovely rounded edge. When there is virtually no liquid egg left on the surface of the omelette, turn it over to cook the other side. To do this, place a flat lid or plate over the pan, carefully invert both so that the omelette is on the lid or plate. Put the pan back on the heat and use the palette knife to gently ease the omelette back in. Give it about 2 minutes more, then turn the heat off and leave it for a further 5 minutes to settle. It should then be cooked through but still moist in the centre. Serve hot or cold, cut in wedges, with a salad and a glass of Rioja – it's brilliant.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small heavy-based frying pan that's about 20cm/8in in diameter. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes.
- Add the pepper and potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and gently cook over a low heat for about 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the potatoes are cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and wipe the pan clean.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the bowl with the cooked mixture.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan. Carefully pour in the egg mixture and sprinkle with parsley. Cook on a medium heat until the sides and top have just set and the base is lightly golden-brown. When the middle is set, carefully slide onto a plate.
- Put the pan on top of the omelette and flip over to cook the other side for 3–4 minutes, or until golden-brown all over and just cooked through. Slide onto a plate to serve.
