Spanish Tortilla

Tonight's dinner was super easy and it tasted delicious. A Spanish Tortilla.  I have heard of a Spanish Tortilla but I never had tasted or made one. They are so easy to prepare and you probably have everything you need at home.  Eggs, potatoes, onions, red peppers, salt, pepper and hot sauce.

Begin by cooking the potatoes, bell pepper and onion in an ovenproof skillet.  Next pour the egg mixture over the veggies.  Press down on the veggies so they are submerged.  Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the tortilla is set.  You are ready to enjoy a wonderful and tasty dinner.  Serve with a salad and you are set.





Spanish Tortilla
From Martha Stewart

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced inch thick
1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add potatoes, bell pepper, and onion; season with salt and pepper (skillet will be very full). Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp-tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Uncover, and cook off excess liquid, 1 to 2 minutes.
2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, parsley, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet, and stir to distribute evenly. With the back of a spatula, press down on vegetables so they lay flat and are submerged.
3. Bake until tortilla is set, 12 to 16 minutes. To unmold, run a rubber spatula around edge of skillet to release tortilla; invert onto a serving plate. Drizzle tortilla with oil; garnish with parsley.

  2. That's quite a bit different than the tortilla recipes I've seen or than the ones that are served at tapas bars in Spain, but it still sounds very good!
