AUTHENTIC SPANISH TORTILLA RECIPE (TORTILLA ESPANOLA)
Steps:
- Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
- Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and add the potatoes. Ensure using enough olive oil so that the potatoes are fully covered.
- When the potatoes are completely cooked, drain them in a colander using a paper towel. This way, the towel will soak most of the oil, and the leftover oil can be used later in other recipes.
- Slice the onions in vertical long slices and add them to the frying pan with a bit of olive oil.
- Sauté the onion slices over medium heat until they start to caramelize. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes depending on the flame.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl (ensure doing this at room temperature), and add a bit of salt which will help your eggs retain most of the moisture when you're cooking them. Note: Use around 2 eggs per potato for the ideal flavor.
- Add the caramelized onions and the potatoes to the beaten eggs and mix everything. Once everything is nicely mixed, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Pour the tortilla mixture into the frying pan gently, and set the flame on medium-low heat. DO NOT cook your Tortilla Espanola over an extremely hot pan, as it can burn or overcook which is not something you want.
- Grab a large plate to flip the tortilla. Ensure using a plate that is larger than the pan, as it will successfully flip the tortilla without scrambling it. Put the plate on top of your pan, and flip it quickly. It may be runny, but that's how it is before the other side is cooked as well.
- Slowly slide the tortilla back into the frying pan and let the other side cook on a medium flame for an additional 6-8 minutes. If you like your tortilla fully cooked, you can let it cook a little bit more before taking it off the pan.
- Flip the tortilla again but on a clean plate this time. Let it cool down for 10 minutes before devouring, as the recipe tastes a whole lot better at room temperature.

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.

Steps:
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Add the arugula, olives and roasted red peppers but don't toss yet (you don't want the arugula to wilt). Set aside while you prepare the omelets.
- Whisk the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 teaspoon olive oil, then pour in 1/2 cup of the egg mixture and stir gently with a rubber spatula to distribute the egg in the bottom of the pan. Cook until the eggs are just set but the underside is not brown, about 4 minutes, then slide the omelet onto a plate. Repeat to make 3 more omelets, adding about 1 more teaspoon oil to the skillet between each.
- Toss the arugula salad, then pile on top of the omelets. Scatter the feta and prosciutto on top.

SPANISH OMELET WITH ROMESCO SAUCE
Steps:
- Prepare the sauce: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Wrap in a clean towel while still warm and rub to remove the skins.
- Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the hazelnuts, almonds, bread, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add the tomato, piquillo peppers, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse, thinning with water as needed. Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Make the omelet: Whisk the eggs, a pinch of salt and the scallion in a bowl. Return the skillet to medium heat and drizzle with more oil, if needed. Add the eggs and cook about 3 minutes, loosening the edges with a rubber spatula to allow the uncooked egg to run underneath. Sprinkle with the cheese, then layer the ham and 1/4 cup sauce on one side. Cook until the cheese melts and the eggs set, 2 to 3 more minutes. Fold in half to cover the filling. Serve with more sauce, if desired.

SPANISH TORTILLA
The Spanish tortilla has nothing in common with the Mexican variety except its shape and its name. One is just a bread. The other can be an appetizer, a snack, or even a light meal. But the Spanish tortilla has another advantage: because it is better at room temperature than it is hot, it should be made in advance, anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. In its most basic form, the tortilla is a potato and egg open-faced omelet that derives most of its flavor from olive oil. Onions or scallions can replace the potato in part or entirely, as can cooked greens like chard. The only hard part is turning the partly formed tortilla, so do it swiftly and carefully (using a nonstick skillet makes it much easier). The worst that will happen is that a little potato and egg will be left behind when you return the cake to the skillet. If you can't bring yourself to risk the flip, just slide the pan into a 375-degree oven until the eggs are completely set, but not overcooked.

Steps:
- Peel and thinly slice potatoes and onions; it's easiest if you use a mandoline. Meanwhile, heat oil in an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. After 3 or 4 minutes, drop in a potato slice. When tiny bubbles appear around its edges, add potatoes, onions, a good pinch of salt and a liberal sprinkling of pepper. Gently turn mixture in oil with a wooden spoon, and adjust heat so oil bubbles lazily.
- Cook, turning potatoes gently every few minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a small knife. Adjust the heat so they do not brown. If potatoes begin to break, they are overdone; stop cooking immediately. As potatoes cook, beat eggs with some salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Drain potatoes in a colander, reserving oil. Wipe out skillet, and heat over a medium flame for a minute. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Gently mix warm potatoes with eggs, and add to skillet. As soon as edges firm up, after a minute or so, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 5 minutes.
- Insert a rubber spatula all around edges of tortilla to make sure it will slide from pan. The top will still be runny. Carefully slide out onto a plate. Cover with another plate, and holding plates tightly, invert them. Add another tablespoon oil to skillet, and use the spatula to coax tortilla back in. Cook 5 minutes, then slide from skillet onto a clean plate. Serve warm (not hot), or at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
