Tortilla Española With Chorizo Recipes

AUTHENTIC TORTILLA ESPANOLA CON CHORIZO

Steps:

• Lightly beat the eggs, season with a generous sprinkle of salt, and set aside.
• In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and gently cook until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the potatoes and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes have completely fallen apart. Take care to keep the heat low enough that the potatoes and onions don't take on any color.
• Drain the onions & potatoes through a colander, reserving enough olive oil for cooking the tortilla.
• Season the potato and onion mixture with salt and mix with the beaten eggs; it should be roughly equal parts potatoes and eggs as you want the mixture to be just barely held together with the eggs.
• Heat a 10" nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil from the potatoes and onions. Pour the potato and egg mixture into the pan and leave it alone for 2 minutes until the bottom starts to set up. Gently shake the pan to release the eggs from the edge to make sure they're not sticking at all. Cook for 5 minutes or so until the bottom is set but the top is very wet.
• Place a large, flat plate on top of the skillet, hold it tightly, and in one quick motion flip over the pan and the tortilla.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and return it to the heat. Add another tablespoon of the cooking oil and carefully slip the tortilla back into the pan. Using a rubber spatula, carefully tuck the edges of the tortilla into the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Flip one or two more times to get a rounded edge. (OK I skipped that part)

TORTILLA ESPAñOLA WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• In 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook potatoes, bell pepper and onion in oil 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not brown. Remove from heat.
• In large bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in chorizo.
• Set oven control to broil. Pour egg mixture into skillet, spreading evenly over potato mixture. Cook 5 minutes, without stirring, until bottom and edges are set.
• Transfer skillet to oven; broil with top about 8 inches from heat 5 minutes or until top is just set. Place heatproof serving plate upside down over skillet; turn plate and skillet over. Remove skillet. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut into 2-inch squares.

TORTILLA WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick or cast iron saute pan over medium high heat. Add onions and peppers, cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo, potatoes, garlic, and cilantro stirring carefully as to not break up the potatoes, cook 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl whisk eggs with a pinch of salt until well blended. Add eggs to the pan with the chorizo mixture. Stir gently with a heatproof spatula, allowing the bottom to cook, pulling away at the sides to allow the egg on top to run underneath as if cooking an omelet.
• When eggs are mostly set but still a little runny place pan in oven for about 5 minutes until set and slightly puffed and brown on top.
• Remove from oven. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TORTILLA ESPANOLA WITH ROMESCO SAUCE

Steps:

• Tortilla: Toss zucchini with salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let drain at least 30 minutes, pressing on zucchini a few times to remove excess moisture.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 cup oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and onion; reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, until potatoes are tender but not taking on any color, 30 to 35 minutes. Add zucchini and cook, stirring a few times, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer potato mixture to colander and let drain 5 minutes, gently stirring occasionally. Whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and basil in a large bowl, then stir in potato mixture.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wipe skillet clean, making sure to remove any browned bits. Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add egg mixture and reduce heat to low. Cook, running a flexible spatula around sides occasionally to prevent eggs from sticking, until edges begin to set, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer to oven and bake until center is set and edges are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Run a paring knife around edge of tortilla to loosen, then invert onto a wire rack. Using a large spatula or a second wire rack, flip tortilla back over and let cool completely, about 1 hour, before cutting into wedges.
• Romesco: Pulse almonds and garlic in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add peppers, oil, and vinegar; puree until smooth. Store in refrigerator, covered, until ready to serve, up to 1 day; dollop onto tortilla wedges.
