Tortilla Española

Ingredients:

4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly

1 medium onion, chopped

4-5 large eggs

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions:

Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes and onion to a large mixing bowl, leaving the excess oil in the frying pan.

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes and onion, and mix everything together.

Heat up the same frying pan on medium heat and pour in the egg and potato mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned.

Using a plate or a flat lid, invert the tortilla onto the plate, and then slide it back into the frying pan, so that the uncooked side is facing down.

Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the tortilla is fully cooked and golden brown on both sides.

Serve hot or at room temperature, cut into wedges. Enjoy your delicious Tortilla Española!

6 Traditional Andalusian Dishes You Have To Try

Andalusia is a region in southern Spain that boasts a rich culinary tradition. Here are six of the most famous foods from this region, along with a brief description of their key ingredients.

Gazpacho: This refreshing chilled soup is a staple of Andalusian cuisine. It is made from a blend of fresh tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, onions, garlic, and bread, all pureed together and seasoned with vinegar and olive oil. It is typically served as a starter or light lunch.

Paella: Though originally from Valencia, paella has become a beloved dish in Andalusia as well. It is a rice dish made with saffron, vegetables, and either seafood, chicken, or rabbit, and is typically cooked in a large, shallow pan.

Salmorejo: Another cold soup, salmorejo is similar to gazpacho but has a thicker consistency due to the addition of bread crumbs. Its main ingredients include tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, and sometimes hard-boiled egg or ham as a garnish.

Pescaíto frito: This dish consists of an assortment of small, fried fish, typically served as a tapa (small dish) or a main course. The fish are usually marinated in garlic and lemon juice before being coated in flour and fried until crispy.

Tortilla española: This classic Spanish dish is essentially an omelette made with potatoes, onions, and eggs. It is often served as a light lunch or as part of a tapas spread.

Flamenquín: This is a popular meat dish from Andalusia consisting of ham or pork loin wrapped in cheese, coated in breadcrumbs, and then fried. It is typically served with a side of fries or a salad.

These six dishes are just a small sampling of the delicious and diverse cuisine that Andalusia has to offer. Whether you're a fan of seafood, meat, or vegetarian fare, there is something for everyone in this region's culinary repertoire.
