Yield 2-3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. olive oil, divided
1½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes (about 3 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces
1¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2-3 chiles from a can of chiles in adobo, depending on your preferred spice level, roughly chopped, plus 2 Tbsp. sauce from the can
1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
Chopped parsley and mayonnaise, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and season with 1 tsp. kosher salt. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and starting to brown, 25 minutes.
  • While the potatoes roast, in a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chiles, sauce, tomato paste, paprika, and cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are coated and the mixture has darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and immediately add sherry vinegar; scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and stir to combine.
  • Transfer the onion-chiles mixture to a food processor or blender (reserve the pan; there's no need to wash it). Add the tomato and season with black pepper and ¾ tsp. salt. Pulse, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed, until the mixture forms a mostly smooth, thick paste.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Transfer roasted potatoes to the reserved skillet; add the sauce and stir to thoroughly coat. Use a spoon or spatula to create three wells in the potato mixture; drizzle 2 tsp. olive oil between the three wells. Crack an egg into each well and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the whites of the eggs are set but the yolk is still runny, about 6-8 minutes. Top with chopped parsley and mayonnaise before serving.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Tortilla:
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled, sliced 1/8-inch thick
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 large eggs
Kosher salt
Romesco sauce:
1 cup almonds, skins removed
1 cup hazelnuts, skins removed
1 slice white bread
5 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 large red bell pepper, halved and seeded
2 plum tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the tortilla:
  • 1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, arrange the onion and potatoes in a flat layer and cover with 1/2 cup olive oil. Cook the vegetables, gently stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • 2. Drain the cooked vegetables in a colander set over a bowl until cooled. (The oil collected in the bowl can be used later in the recipe or for another preparation.)
  • 3. Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Add the potato mixture to the skillet in a flat layer and then pour the eggs over top. Cook the eggs, pressing the edges into the center as they begin to cook. Once the omelet is set enough, gently shake the pan to keep it from sticking on the bottom. Continue cooking until almost completely set, 6 to 8 minutes. Slide the omelet out onto a large dinner plate and invert it back into the pan to finish cooking the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • 4. Slide the finished omelet onto a large serving plate and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with Romesco sauce.
  • For the romesco sauce:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the almonds, hazelnuts, bread, and garlic in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast until ingredients are aromatic and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes. Set aside to cool. Set the oven to broil.
  • 2. Place the peppers and tomatoes cut-side down onto an oiled baking sheet. Broil until the skins of the vegetables are evenly charred and the flesh is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately transfer the vegetables to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool enough to handle. Peel and discard the skins from the vegetables and transfer the flesh to the jar of a blender.
  • 3. Add the cooled nuts, bread, and garlic to the blender along with the vinegar, parsley, paprika, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency as needed with olive oil to create a pourable sauce, and serve.

SPANISH COCA WITH SMOKY ROMESCO AND POTATOES

Categories     Bread     Sauce     Potato     Bake     Kosher

Yield makes one 9 by 14-inch flatbread

Number Of Ingredients 16

Dough
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (105° to 115°F)
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Topping
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet pimentón (Spanish smoked paprika)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Smoky Romesco Sauce (page 188)
8 green onions, trimmed to light green area and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon whole fresh oregano leaves
2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed and roasted
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced into rounds

Steps:

  • To make the dough, sprinkle the yeast over 1/4 cup of the water and stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes, or until dissolved. Sift the 1 3/4 cups flour and the salt onto a work surface and make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture, remaining water, and the olive oil. Mix the ingredients in the well together with your fingertips, then gradually draw in flour to make a dough. Knead, dusting with flour as necessary, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until elastic. The dough should be soft, but only slightly sticky. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn to coat it with oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Prepare a very hot fire (525° to 550°F) in a wood-fired oven or cooker.
  • Knead the dough lightly on a floured board for 2 minutes. Roll into a 9 by 14-inch rectangle, stretching to size with your hands. It should be about 1/2 inch thick. Transfer to an oiled baking sheet and dimple the surface of the dough with your fingertips so it does not puff evenly.
  • To make the topping, mix the 1/4 cup olive oil, pimentón, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl and brush half of this mixture generously on the dough. Spread evenly with the romesco sauce, then the green onions and oregano. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil. Leave in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is puffy.
  • Bake the bread in the oven for 10 minutes, rotating the pan once to bake evenly. Top with the roasted potatoes and continue to bake until the crust is brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the edges of the crust with olive oil. Top with sliced eggs and cut into serving-size slices or squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
