Today we're going to make a very special Spanish omelette because to the traditional Spanish omelette besides onion
We're also going to add pepper
peas and chorizo
The result is a hearty juicy
flavorful omelette
perfect for family meals
To prepare this omelette you need very simple ingredients
The ingredients are very simple
Obviously potatoes we will also need a chorizo a piece of pepper and
four eggs peas and salt and
the first thing we'll do is peel a few potatoes until they weigh about 3 quarters of a kilo around
700 grams and
Make sure to cut them well, so they're thin slices and not too big pieces
See how easy it is to cut slowly
So you get really really thin slices, and then you chop them all together
That way you always end up with small pieces of similar size
You don't need it to be perfect, but each piece of potato should be about the same size
That way it'll cook evenly
I'm going to start frying the potatoes in plenty of oil which I already have hot
Just drop them in and give them a little stir so they don't stick to each other
The idea is for them to be tender and cooked through they don't need to be completely crispy on the outside
But they should be well cooked
While the potatoes are cooking. It's a good time to prepare the rest of the ingredients as well.
I recommend chopping the onion very finely so it gives all its flavor and that juicy touch
But we don't notice its texture, so let's get to it. I slice and then chop the strips
The same goes for a good piece of red bell pepper
Freshly washed and perfect for adding its characteristic flavor
finally a chorizo
The trick is to cut it in half so you can make two strips and then cut them into small pieces
See
there
Thanks to a well-sharpened knife and a little bit of patience. We're getting our tortilla paisana ready and
Here I have six eggs. I'm going to get them ready as well. So I break the yolks and mix them quickly with a fork
You don't need to beat them too much or incorporate too much air
Just enough so the texture is uniform then we add enough salt for the whole omelette and mix quickly
Since it's going into the eggs. It will distribute very quickly and
here I have a plate with a couple of paper towels or kitchen paper and
I'm going to put the potato directly on them so they can absorb the excess oil
We also start with the onion we're going to cook it until it's nice and soft as well
Enjoy your meal
So I use that time and cook the onion in a little bit of oil
Stirring it from time to time until it's translucent and very soft
Then we add the red bell pepper add the red bell pepper and cook it a little as well
Since we want it soft and well mixed in good
Don't rush because a good sofrito over low heat
Slowly is the key to an even juicier omelette
now for the ingredient that will give today's omelette its special touch and
Now we let it cook in here for a bit. So it releases all those delicious flavors
Now I add as I mentioned the chorizo
You can see it starts to release its juices quickly and we're also going to stir it around for a minute
So it releases them even faster
It smells so good
onion pepper chorizo
With this it's definitely going to be delicious. I
add
100 grams of peas and now I've got all the magic in the pan
Mix well and cook them just a little
I don't like the peas to be overcooked. So one or two minutes is enough
Besides being delicious look at that combination of colors
Now we add the potato and pay attention because this might be the most complicated part of the day
Because we have to mix it in the pan and if we have a pan of the right size in this case
20 centimeters in diameter
It's very important to do it carefully
Almost from the bottom up with folding motions
So that everything is well distributed, but nothing spills out
We mix everything carefully so it doesn't spill out of the pan
Finally the egg
Spread it well over the whole surface and let it cook on medium heat
Never put it on high
That will guarantee it cooks perfectly both on the outside and the inside and
Check out this trick work lightly with a spatula and the egg is ready the sides, too
You can use a spatula or a rubber spatula on the edges
That will make sure it keeps its shape and doesn't stick when you try to flip it subscribe and
The most delicate moment
The trick is to put a large plate on top and it should be slightly damp so that it's easy to slide it back in
Later, then we put it back in the pan so it can cook on the other side
Thanks to the trick of dampening the plate slides without any problem and you can let it fall exactly where you want
in the center of your pan
One last movement just like making a little circle with the pan so it slides and
Cook it until it's set on the bottom as well in this case much less time than before
Just until it sets on the bottom
Inside it's already going to be ready and look how amazing this big omelet looks a country-style
Spanish omelet that we've made without any difficulty
Look at those colors in that aroma
potatoes peas onion pepper and chorizo a
Country-style Spanish omelet that's full of flavor
Paisana is
Paisana full of vegetables a soft mix
but it's balanced on the other side by the strong punch of flavor that the chorizo gives you a
Fantastic combination, but I have one question left
Are you one of those who prefers to eat the tortilla?
Just like this with a piece of bread on the side to mix it up
Or do you go straight for the sandwich if you're someone who likes bread on the side you're on my team
Another important thing is that this tortilla is delicious right after you make it, but also a few hours later
So you can prepare it in advance and take it with you for a day when you're going to the mountains the beach
Or you just can't cook at lunchtime
How wonderful it's delicious
