Potato Tortilla Omelet With Tuna And Asparagus Ww Core Recipes

PEPPER AND POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Do not peel the potatoes, but wash them well.
• Parboil them for about 20 minutes, then drain and, and when they are cool enough to handle, slice them thickly.
• Switch on the broiler so that it warms up while you prepare the rest of the dish.
• In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic and peppers over a moderate heat for 5 minutes until softened.
• Add the potatoes and continue frying, stirring from time to time until the potatoes are completely cooked and the vegetables are soft.
• Add a little extra oil if the pan seems rather too dry.
• Pour in half the beaten eggs, then sprinkle over half the grated Cheddar cheese, then the rest of the egg.
• Season with salt and pepper and finish with a layer of cheese.
• Continue to cook over a low heat, without stirring, half covering the pan with a lid to help set the eggs.
• When the mixture is firm, flash the pan under the hot broiler to seal the top just lightly.
• Leave the tortilla in the pan to cool.
• This helps it firm up further and makes it easier to turn out.
• Cut into generous wedges to serve.

TORTILLA DE PATATA (SPANISH POTATO OMELET)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil to medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potato slices, season with salt and cook over low and slow heat until the potatoes are softened and lightly golden brown around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes, gently shaking the pan from time to time to prevent the potato slices from sticking. When the potatoes are ready, reserve 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the skillet (now infused with the flavor of those onions and potatoes) and drain the potatoes in a colander or on a paper towel.
• Beat the eggs with a generous pinch of salt in a large bowl for about 1 minute. Add the drained caramelized potatoes and onions and stir with a fork to lightly break up the potatoes (this will give the finished Tortilla de Patata a wonderful light fluffy texture). Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil in the same skillet until very hot. Pour in the egg and potato mixture and cook on one side, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the underside is set and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a plate to cover the pan, carefully invert the omelet onto the plate and then gently slide the omelet back into the pan to cook on the other side until just set and light golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Do not overcook. This Tortilla de Patata is best when barely runny in the very center. Serve immediately with some slices of fresh baguette, or make ahead to serve later in the day at room temperature. Enjoy!

SPANISH POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add 2/3 cup water and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Scrape the potato mixture into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Wipe out and reserve the skillet. The potato mixture can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
• Combine the eggs, garlic, olives, parsley, thyme and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl. Fold in the cheese and the cooled potato mixture.
• Preheat the broiler. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook, uncovered, until the sides are set and the top edge begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Run a flexible heatproof rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the omelet. Cover tightly; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the center is almost set, about 5 minutes.
• Broil the omelet until the top is fully cooked and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the omelet rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the omelet again around the sides and underneath as far as possible. Slide the omelet onto a platter and garnish with parsley and thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature with Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce.
• Combine the bell peppers, oil, tomato paste, almonds, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, blend in the reserved roasted bell pepper juice, 1 teaspoonful at a time, to thin out the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

POTATO TORTILLA (OMELET) WITH TUNA AND ASPARAGUS (WW CORE)

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan filled with water to boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes until the potatoes are firm but tender. Add asparagus and cook an additional minute. Remove pan from heat and drain the vegetables well and pat to dry.
• Combine the eggs and egg whites until well beaten. If desired add the milk and mix some more.
• Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan with a heat proof handle. Add the potatoes and asparagus and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tuna and tomato and cook another minute.
• Pour the eggs over the contents of the hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. While the eggs are still very wet, gently lift the sides of the eggs so that the more liquid parts slips under. Sprinkle the scallion slices on top. Reduce the heat to medium low and cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until the top is set but still moist.
• Preheat the broiler to high. Place omelet under broiler for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Slice the omelet into wedges and serve with salad.

ROAST POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Grease a 19cm x 30cm (approximately 71/2 inch x 12 inch) pan and line the sides and base with baking paper.
• Heat oil in a large pan, preferably non-stick, add the onion and red pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft; add the garlic, paprika, herbs, potatoes, corn and salt and pepper, to taste; cook, stirring regularly, until hot.
• Spread the potato mixture over the base of the prepared pan; pour the eggs over the top of the vegetables and sprinkle with the cheese.
• Cook in a moderate oven (180°C, 350°-375°F, 4-5 gas mark) for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture has set; stand for 5 minutes before removing the tortilla from the pan.
• Serve warm or cold tortilla slices with mixed salad leaves and crusty bread rolls; and garnish with parsley.

BASQUE POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• You will need a heavy skillet with a diameter or 9 to 10 inches (Dorie uses a cast-iron skillet; smaller is better than larger).
• Choose a skillet with a handle that can go under the broiler (if you are not sure, wrap the handle in foil).
• Pour about 2 tablespoons oil into the skillet and warm it over medium heat.
• Add the potatoes and onion, garlic and rosemary if using; turn the ingredients around until they glisten with oil.
• Season with salt and pepper; decrease the heat and cook slowly until the potatoes are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes; you should be able to pierce the potatoes easily with the tip of a knife.
• Discard the garlic and rosemary and transfer the potatoes and onion to a bowl.
• Carefully wipe the skillet with a paper towel (if anything has stuck to the bottom of the pan, you should wash it--you need a clean surface so the tortilla will unmold easily).
• Position broiler rack so that when you slide the skillet onto it, the pan will be about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler.
• In a big bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste and the cayenne, then stir in the potatoes and onion.
• Put the skillet over med-high heat and pour in about 1 1/2 tablespoons oil.
• When the oil is hot, add the eggs and potatoes to the pan.
• Immediately lower the heat, and let the eggs cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes.
• Run a silicone spatula or a table knife around the edges of the pan to release the tortilla, then cover the pan and cook slowly for another 8-10 minutes, or until the top is almost set--there will be a circle of liquid or jiggly egg at the center.
• Every couple of minutes, run your spatula around the sides of the pan and just under the tortilla to keep it from sticking.
• Slide the pan under the broiler and cook until the top of the tortilla is set; check it after 1 minute, and then keep checking--it can go fast.
• Transfer the tortilla to a serving platter and allow it to cool to room temperature before cutting and serving it.
