Diced chorizo contributes a spicy note to tortilla espanola, a classic Spanish egg dish with potatoes and onion often served warm as an appetizer.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for skillet if needed
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 large), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/4 medium onion, diced (1/4 cup)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 ounces dried chorizo, cut into 1/4-inch dice
6 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a heavy 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add potatoes and onion, and season with salt. Cover, and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes and onion to a bowl. Add chorizo to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Transfer chorizo and pan drippings to potato-onion mixture. Reserve skillet.
  • Add eggs to potato-onion mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat skillet with more oil if needed, and heat over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture; stir to combine and press to flatten. Cook, running a flexible spatula around the edges occasionally, until edges set and center is slightly runny, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Place a plate, upside down, over skillet, and invert tortilla onto plate. Slide tortilla, cooked side up, back into skillet. Cook over low heat until completely set in the center, 3 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, and let cool slightly before cutting into squares or wedges.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped to a paste with a pinch kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground Spanish paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/4 pounds well-marbled ground pork shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Spanish olive oil
1 dozen large eggs
4 ounces Gurroxta cheese, grated
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
6 piquillo peppers, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chorizo: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until reduced. Remove from the heat, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Mix in the ground pork gently to combine. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  • For the tortilla: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Return the pan over medium heat.
  • Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the cheese, parsley, peppers and chorizo and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the pan, moving it around in the pan to help the tortilla to rise. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally, until it has set. Transfer to the oven and bake until set, about 15 minutes.
  • When the tortilla is firm, remove from the oven, place a large plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Cut into wedges and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for plate
14 ounces russet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 2 large potatoes)
2 red onions, roughly chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
7 ounces chorizo sausage, casings removed and very thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
6 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • In an 8-inch skillet that's 1 1/2 inches deep, heat two-thirds of the olive oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, add potatoes, and cook for 10 minutes. Add onions, season with salt, and cook for 10 minutes more. Stir in chorizo, garlic, and parsley, being careful not to crush potatoes; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool slightly.
  • Lightly oil a large plate; set aside. Wipe skillet clean using paper towels; heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, gently mix eggs into cooled potato mixture; add mixture to pan. Cook until eggs are half cooked, gently pulling edge of tortilla toward the center so any uncooked liquid runs underneath. Let sit, untouched, over low heat until underside of tortilla is almost cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Slide tortilla onto oiled plate, and invert back into pan; cook until both sides are cooked and the center is still soft. Slide tortilla onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
