MUSHROOM OMELET WITH BACON AND ONION HASH

Steps:

• Add olive oil to lightly coat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and swirl to release the aroma. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the beaten egg mixture (be sure that the mixture is smooth¿no hunks of egg white). Tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg mixture to run to the sides of the pan to create a wide, flat "scrambled egg." Swirl the pan around occasionally to loosen the eggs from the bottom of the pan.
• When the eggs are three-quarters of the way cooked through, sprinkle the middle third of the omelet with the mushrooms and goat cheese. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with the chives.
• Using the spatula, fold the left third of the omelet over the filling. Press gently to secure.
• Gently shake the pan to be sure that the omelet is loosened from the pan. Gently slide the right third of the omelet out onto a serving plate and flip the other two-thirds of the omelet on top. (The omelet should be folded like a letter.)
• Serve the omelet with the Potato Hash. Garnish with chives.
• Plunge the potatoes into boiling water, then immediately drain and place them in a bowl of ice water.
• To a medium cast-iron skillet, add the bacon. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon has rendered. Add the onion and cook over low heat, partially covered, until translucent. Add the potatoes and cook until browned and slightly crisp.

MUSHROOM OMELET SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add all but 1/2 cup of the mushrooms and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms brown, about 5 minutes; remove to a plate.
• Wipe out the skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until small curds form and the eggs are mostly cooked. Spread any uncooked egg to fill in the gaps and cook, undisturbed, until just set on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the cheese. Arrange the cooked mushrooms down the middle and fold in the sides. Slide the omelet onto a cutting board and cut crosswise into 4 pieces. Spread the rolls with the mustard and fill with the omelet.
• Whisk the vinegar, tarragon, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the frisée and reserved mushrooms; toss. Serve with the sandwiches.

HUEVOS CON CHORIZO

Steps:

• For the pico de gallo: Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the eggs: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat into big chunks, until well-browned, about 4 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender (reduce the heat if the onion browns too quickly), about 3 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl until frothy. Stir the butter into the skillet. When it has just melted, pour the eggs over the chorizo and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until they are just set. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve with the tortillas, avocado and pico de gallo.

SETAS - WILD MUSHROOM AND GARLIC TAPAS

Steps:

• Start by washing the mushrooms thoroughly, then place them in a sieve and let them dry for a while - if you need to cook them immediately, dry them a bit with a tea-towel. With the type of mushrooms I used, you can simply tear them into strips but if you use button mushrooms you need to slice them with a knife.
• Put all the oil in a frying pan and wait till it starts to smoke. Add the garlic, which has been previously peeled and sliced roughly, and stir with a wooden spoon. When the garlic starts to brown add the mushrooms and stir them every now and again for 5 minutes. At this point add the wine and turn the heat down to medium. After another 5 to 10 minutes add the parsley and serve immediately.
