I have to admit that this event was bit of a challenge for me. Tapas have been consumed by me before and I have been to Spain. Both are however a really - and yes I mean really, really, really - long time ago. I am honestly not even sure if about eating Tapas when I was in Spain...yes, I know, I know but this girl was still very young. Maybe in my early twenties, or late teens...yes, this girl is not a spring chicken anymore...Anyway we have had Tapas when we lived in Chicago but that is also over ten years ago so it was a challenge. Then I rememberedTortilla Española it made it's appearance on our dinner table a couple of times in 2013 and yes, it can be served at room temperature, or hot. It is a perfect little dish...
Let me admit to you another thing; the Tortilla Española for #SundaySupper was not the prettiest one. It actually did fall apart a little so before you invert the plate make sure to only loosen the corners of the Tortilla with a knife but also the bottom....that is what I did in the past. So, please do not let the not so pretty pictures scare you away...this is one delicious, yummy dish.
Tortilla Española adapted from Food & Wine
- 6.5 oz. Spanish Chorizo (dried) - make sure to read the label as some brands contain dairy
- 2 lbs. yellow potatoes, scrubbed, peeled, and cut into about 1/4" slices
- 2 medium - large onions sliced thinly
- 6 eggs gently beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
****** Preheat oven to 400 F ******
- Place an oven proof pan {I use cast iron} on the stove; heat the pan over medium heat
- Slice chorizo and place it in the hot pan. The pan should not be too hot, just enough to render the fat from the chorizo. It takes about 5 minutes or so to render the fat.
- Remove the chorizo from the pan
- Add the onions to the pan and sauté over medium heat stirring often for about 5-10 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add potatoes to the onions in the pan. Cover with a lid, stirring the potato - onion mixture occasionally. Cook until potatoes begin to soften which takes about 10 minutes or so.
- Return chorizo slices to the pan and mix under the potato/onion mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour beaten eggs over the potato mixture; after about 2 minutes (the egg mixture should start to set and brown on the bottom) move the pan to the oven.
- Bake for at least 20 minutes until the potatoes are very soft.
- Remove pan from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes or so. To remove Tortilla from the pan, run the tip of a knife along the edges of the Tortilla, and also gently run a sharp spatula underneath the Tortilla. Place a plate on top of the Tortilla and turn the pan over (invert)
- Cut the Tortialla into individual servings.
