TORTILLA TAPAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Tip in onion and potatoes and fry gently for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender, turning frequently, adding garlic and peppers for the last 5 minutes. Tip into a large bowl, season and cool for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the eggs, chilli flakes and parsley. Leave to sit for 5 minutes, then put a nonstick 20cm square tin in the oven to heat up. After 5 minutes, remove tin and brush with oil. pour in the egg mixture and return to oven.
• Cook for 15-20 minutes. (Check it's ready by pressing the top lightly. If it is still runny, return to the oven for a couple of minutes.) Once cooked, remove and leave to cool for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a board. Cut into squares and serve.

OVEN-BAKED SPANISH TORTILLA - TAPAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 7 x 10 inch baking sheet with foil and brush with the olive oil.
• Place a little olive oil, the garlic, scallions, and peppers in a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring for 10 minutes, or until the onions are softened, but not browned. Let cool, then stir in the potato.
• Beat the eggs, sour cream, cheese and chives together in a large bowl. Stir the cooled vegetables into the bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Pour the mixture into the baking sheet and smooth over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown, puffed and set in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool and set. Run a spatula around the edge, then invert onto a cutting board and peel off the foil. Invert again with browned side up. If the surface looks a little runny, place it under a medium broiler to dry out.
• Let cool completely. Trim the edges if necessary, then cut into 48 squares. Serve on a platter with wooden toothpicks, or secure each square to a slice of bread.

POTATO SPANISH TORTILLA (TAPAS)

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes in cubes; cut the onions in thin slices (or as you wish).
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a deep skillet and, in low heat, saute the potatoes and onions for about 10-15 minutes. Season as you wish; remove excess oil from potatoes n onions then mix these into the eggs.
• In a separate skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil and when hot enough, add egg mixture. Let it set for around 5 minutes (until it starts to harden -- ). You have to flip it (probably the most troublesome part -- I use a large plate to help myself flip the tortilla) and then cook the other side pretty well (for about 5 minutes).
• You can serve hot or cold because it's a tapa! :D.
