ESPRESSO EN ESPANOL

 ESPRESSO EN ESPANOL

The Spanish Omelette, in their opinion, is "The Best Omelette in the World." Enjoy hot or cold at any time of day and made it with egg, potato, onion, and olive oil.

He really didn't like egg-based foods like omelettes and frittatas when he was a child. This annoyed me because I frequently prepared them as a quick and simple dinner alternative.

He didn't start eating egg-based dishes until I gave him a Spanish omelette, sometimes known as a Spanish tortilla. Like many toddlers, he like carbohydrates, and I firmly believe that this dish's substantial portion of potatoes was what ultimately won him over.

This is just one more illustration of the fact that we shouldn't ever stop trying to serve our kids things they have previously refused. Continue to experiment and come up with new methods to serve meals. Hopefully, your children will enjoy this Spanish Tortilla as well. OMELETTE SPANISH INGREDIENTS

What you'll need to prepare a Spanish Omelette is:

Potato: Without a simple potato, a Spanish omelette is impossible to make. Potatoes should be thinly sliced, but not paper-thin (if using a mandoline) because they might clump together and not cook correctly.

People have strong feelings about whether or not onions belong in tortillas. Personally, I enjoy the flavour and sweetness they add. Slice onion very thin.

Olive oil is used to cook the omelette as well as the onion and potatoes. Compared to traditional recipes, this one just needs 3 tbsp of oil (which use at least a cup of oil). As a result, it is a little healthier for our children.

5 or 6 eggs, depending

COOKING UTILITIES

You will require:

a nonstick frying pan. Unfortunately, when I tried to make this with cast iron and an aluminium pan, the eggs adhered to the pan. The diameter of my pan was 28 cm (11 inches) (this is the smallest non-stick pan I own). The smallest pan you may use to make a tortilla will be about 23 cm (9 inches), which will result in a thicker tortilla.

a lid for the potatoes and/or onions.

The tortilla needs to be flipped using a big platter.

A RECIPE FOR SPANISH OMELETTES

The potatoes and onions must be cooked. Slice the potatoes and onions very thinly. In a nonstick frying pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat before adding the potato and onion slices. 30 minutes of cooking time after reducing heat to low and covering (checking and flipping occasionally).

Egg should be combined with the cooked potato and onion. When the potatoes and onions are done cooking, add them to the whisked eggs in a large mixing bowl.

The omelette's bottom should be cooked. Pour the egg mixture into the pan after adding 1 tbsp of oil. Cook the omelette for about 3 minutes at medium heat, or until the bottom is faintly browned, firm, and pulling away from the sides. The

SERVING SUGGESTIONS FOR SPANISH omelettes

Spanish omelettes are great for picnics and lunchbox packing because they taste great hot or cold. Serve simply, with fresh herbs added, or with some mayo or aioli on top.

Eat tortillas for lunch, dinner, or breakfast. Cut into wedges and serve as the main course with salad or vegetables, or cut into bite-size pieces (ideal for infants or toddlers) and serve as a tapas-style lunch option.

RUSHED FOR TIME? DON'T MISS THIS SPANISH OMELETTE HACK! The children will adore it.

Without discussing a Spanish omelette quick hack, I would not be able to finish this post. In fact, potato chips (crisps) can be used in their place if you are pressed for time and cannot wait the required 30 minutes for the potatoes to soften.

INSTRUCTIONS

Potatoes should be peeled and divided in half. Slice the potatoes thinly, then place them cut-side down. Observe Note 2

Peel the onion, then slice it thinly in half.

In a nonstick frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Slices of potato and onion should be added at this point. Gently stir the potato slices once every ten minutes during cooking, which should take 20 to 30 minutes.

In a sizable mixing basin, crack the eggs, add the seasoning, and whisk. (If cooking for a baby or young child, leave out the salt.) Add the cooked potatoes and onion to the eggs after they have done cooking. Observe Note 3

In the same skillet where you cooked the chicken, add the last tablespoon of oil.

COOKBOOK NOTES

Although optional, onion does add flavour.

Use a knife to thinly slice your potatoes. Just be aware that if you slice potatoes too thinly on a mandoline, they may cling together and not cook as properly.

I often let the potato and egg mixture sit for a few minutes. Give the mixture more time to settle if you want the onion flavour to come through (up to around 20 mins)

You can use something with a flat surface that is large enough to cover the pan if you don't have a plate large enough ( I used a round chopping board).

STORAGE: The omelette can be kept in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before serving, or
