Chorizo And Potato Omelets Recipes

POTATO AND CHORIZO OMELETTE WITH A KINDA PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• This omelette is a cross between a Spanish tortilla and an Italian frittata. It's Spanish because of the chorizo and potato, but a little Italian too because I like to finish it off in the oven instead of on the hob, so it puffs up like a soufflé. It has all the things I love in it - potatoes, sausage and eggs.
• Preheat your oven to full whack, or get your grill nice and hot. Put the potatoes into a saucepan of boiling salted water and simmer them until cooked, then drain in a colander and leave them to steam dry. Beat the eggs with a fork in a large mixing bowl, season well with salt and pepper, and put to one side.
• Heat a 20cm non-stick, ovenproof frying pan. Add the chorizo slices and the potato chunks. The chorizo will start to sizzle, releasing all its tasty oils and spices. After a couple of minutes, when everything's lightly golden and crisp, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and put to one side. Sprinkle the rosemary leaves into the hot fat. As soon as they hit the pan, they'll start to crisp up. Pour the beaten eggs on top immediately, adding the potatoes and chorizo and spreading everything out evenly. Place the whole pan in the preheated oven or under the grill until the omelette is golden brown on top and just cooked through in the middle.
• While the omelette is cooking, put the shallots into a bowl with the lemon juice, some salt and pepper and a lug of extra virgin olive oil. Toss and pinch the shallots with your fingertips to soften them slightly, then mix in the parsley leaves. Serve a little on top of the omelette and tuck in!

CHORIZO, POTATO & CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Cook the potato in boiling water for 8-10 mins or until tender. Drain and allow to steam-dry. Heat oil in an omelette pan, add chorizo and cook for 2 mins. Add the potato and cook for a further 5 mins until the potato starts to crisp. Spoon pan contents out, wipe pan and cook a 2 or 3-egg omelette in the same pan. When almost cooked, scatter with the chorizo and potato, parsley and cheese. Fold the omelette in the pan and cook for 1 min more to melt the cheese.

CHORIZO AND POTATO OMELETS

Steps:

• Step 1: Cut 4-5 potatoes into ½-inch dice and put into a microwave-safe bowl with ½ cup water. Cover with plastic wrap vented at one corner. Microwave on high (100 percent power) until potatoes are fork-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Step 2: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil; add 1/2 onion. Cook and stir until onion is tender and slightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add 6-7 ounces chorizo slices and potatoes; cook and stir to blend flavors, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Step 3: For each omelet, whisk together 2 of the eggs, 1 tablespoon of the broth, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon paprika in a small bowl. Add a quarter of the potato mixture and stir well.
• Step 4: Set a small (6- or 7-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle on contact. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan, and swirl to coat the pan with the oil. Gently pour the egg-potato mixture into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Lift the edges of the eggs as they cook to allow the liquid egg to run underneath. When most of the liquid is set, use a spatula to smooth the mixture into an even layer. Let cook, moving and shaking the skillet until the top surface is set but still quite moist, about 3 minutes.
• Step 5: Run a silicon spatula around and under the eggs to be sure nothing is sticking. Then set a plate just slightly larger than the skillet over the skillet. Very carefully invert the omelet onto the plate. Reduce the heat under the skillet to low and add a little oil if the pan looks dry. Slide the omelet back into the skillet with the cooked side up. Cook over low just to set the eggs, about 1 or 2 minutes more.
• Step 6: Once again flip the omelet onto a plate. Repeat to make three more omelets, wiping the pan clean between each before adding oil.
• Step 7: Serve the omelets warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges. Garnish with a dollop of mayonnaise, or sprinkle with herbs. Omelets can be made 2 days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator.

SPANISH CHORIZO OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs, mayonnaise, parsley and black pepper in small bowl with wire whisk; set aside.
• Lightly brown chorizo in large nonstick skillet sprayed with no-stick cooking spray over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes and onion and cook, stirring gently, until onions are almost tender; about 5 minutes.
• Add egg mixture. Cook over low heat, lifting set edges of omelette with spatula and tilting pan to allow uncooked mixture to flow to the bottom. Cover and cook until omelette is set, about 5 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with additional chopped parsley.

POTATO, CHORIZO, AND VEGETABLE OMELET

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the potatoes slowly until they are tender - they should not color. (This could also be done in a deep fryer.) Meanwhile, beat the eggs lightly with the salt. When the potatoes are done, drain, reserving about 4 tablespoons of oil, and add the potatoes to the eggs, and let set 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil in the skillet and sauté the onion until it is wilted. Add the chorizo and ham and cook for another couple of minutes, until the chorizo begins to give off its oil. Stir in the peas, limas, and piquillo pepper or pimiento, and cook 2 minutes more. Add this mixture to the eggs and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Heat another 2 tablespoons of reserved oil in a clean 10-inch skillet until very hot. (It must be very hot or the eggs will stick.) Add the egg mixture, spreading it out rapidly in the skillet with the aid of a pancake turner. Lower the heat to medium-high and shake the pan often to prevent sticking. When the eggs begin to brown underneath, invert a plate of the same size over the skillet and flip the omelet onto the plate, or slide onto a dish, cover with a second dish, and invert. Add about 1 tablespoon more of the oil to the pan, then slide the omelet back into the skillet to brown on the other side.
• Lower the heat to medium and flip the omelet two or three more times (this helps to give the omelet a good shape while it continues to cook), cooking briefly on each side and tucking in any rough edges with the back of the pancake turner. It should be juicy within. Transfer to a platter and cut into 8-10 wedges.
• Variation: Other cooked vegetables, such as asparagus, green beans, green pepper, or mushrooms, may be added to the omelet instead of or in addition to the peas and limas.
