Caramelised Onion Tortilla Recipes

CARAMELISED ONION TORTILLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a large frying pan, soften the onions with 1 tbsp olive oil and some seasoning. Cook over a low heat for 20 mins or until golden and caramelised.
• Place the potato slices, 3 tbsp olive oil and seasoning onto a large baking tray or 2 small ones and toss them around. Bake for 15 mins until potatoes are soft, but not brown.
• Mix the eggs in a large bowl with more seasoning. When the potatoes and onions are done, toss them in and mix well. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to a 20cm frying pan, warm it and pour in the egg mixture. Allow to cook slowly over a low heat for 20-25 mins.
• When nearly all the liquid egg is gone, you will need to flip it over. Place a plate on top of the pan and invert the tortilla, holding the plate firmly while doing so. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and cook for another 3-4 mins. Alternatively, if you aren't too confident about flipping and your pan is ovenproof, place the pan under the grill for a few mins until the top is done. Serve cut into wedges, warm or at room temperature.

CARAMELIZED ONION TORTILLA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onions; cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring once half way through.
• Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and golden, about 45 minutes, let cool for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; Stir into onions.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat; add the egg-onion mixture.
• Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then occasionally loosen the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked portion to flow to the bottom of the pan until eggs are almost set, about 10 minutes.
• Place a plate over the top of the skillet; holding firmly together, invert the plate and the skillet so the tortilla falls onto the plate.
• Slide the tortilla back into the skillet, browned side side up; Cook until the bottom is browned and the inside is cooked through BUT still moist, about 5 minutes.
• Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and cut into wedges, Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, garnish with sage leaves.

GARLIC-ONION TORTILLA STACK

Steps:

• Add the garlic to a skillet over low heat with a little olive oil and cook until the garlic just squishes.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Add the onions and cook until lightly browned but not overly dark, about 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the butter and sugar and cook until the onions have thoroughly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add the roasted garlic, Parmesan, mayonnaise, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Remove from the heat, transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Reserve one-third of the mixture in the refrigerator to use to make the dipping sauce. Evenly spread the remaining mixture on the top of 11 of the tortillas. Stack the tortillas on top of one another and top with the remaining tortilla. Wrap the tortilla stack in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours to set up.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Cut the stack into 16 wedges. Using tongs, grill each wedge on the cut sides until it's warmed and grill marks appear.
• Mix the reserved onion mixture with the balsamic vinegar to make a dipping sauce; season to taste. Serve the wedges with the dipping sauce.

CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.
