FIJIAN POTATO OMELETTE



Fijian Potato Omelette image

This is supposed to be a breakfast recipe but we always use it as a side at dinner time. It has heaps of flavour and is an excellent "store-cupboard" recipe. Unfortunately my husband is a pertinacious pea hater so I always sub with another veggie - whatever is on hand, usually green beans, snow peas (they're different apparently), carrots or capsicum or a combination - this recipe is as versatile as you make it! From "Savour The Pacific".

POTATO OMELETTE



Potato Omelette image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 strips bacon, cut into paper clip-size pieces
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
Dash of balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon oil or duck or pork fat, plus more if needed
3 medium waxy potatoes, peeled and diced
5 eggs
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a small frying pan until crisp, and remove to a paper towel to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Add the butter to the pan, heat to medium and gently fry the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove all to a plate. Deglaze the pan with a splash of vinegar and reduce until it's almost gone.
  • Add the tablespoon of oil or fat and get the pan quite hot this time. Saute the potatoes, stirring only occasionally, until they are soft when pierced with a fork and very crisp and golden on the outside, a good 20 minutes. Return the onions, garlic and bacon to the pan.
  • Gently stir the eggs with a fork, sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour them over the potatoes. Cook until the eggs are set on the bottom, but still a bit slithery on top - or, as the French say, "baveux" (drool-like). Cover the omelette and continue cooking until the top sets, no more than a minute because you still want it a little runny on top - or, I do anyway. Run a spatula around the edge and slip the omelette out onto a large plate.

SPANISH POTATO OMELET

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 small onions, sliced
5 small Yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 large eggs, at room temperature
6 cloves garlic, chopped
6 large pimiento-stuffed olives, thinly sliced or coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
3/4 cup coarsely chopped or crumbled feta (about 3 ounces)
Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus sprigs for garnish
One 15-to-16-ounce bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained, juices reserved
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup Marcona almonds or hazelnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, peeled, chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.
