Spanish style omelette with green peas
Background
The classic Spanish omelette (confusingly called Tortilla) is made with potatoes, but this Spanish style omelette contains other elements that are used in Spanish cooking - Chorizo, Manchego, olives, peas and grilled peppers. It takes only 15 minutes to make, so it's perfect for a weekend brunch or you can serve it as tapas with a glass of Cava.
Ingredients
- 75g cooking chorizo
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1 handful green or black olives, stoned
- 1 piece grilled pepper, from jar
- 1 pieces sundried tomatoes in oil, for jar
- 1 cup defrosted green peas
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
- ½ cup grated Manchego cheese, grated
Instructions
- Cut the chorizo into small cubes. Drain, pat-dry, then finely chop the grilled pepper and sundried tomato.
- Heat a frying pan and add the chorizo and oil. Gently cook until the chorizo releases its fat.
- Add the peas and the chopped red pepper & tomato. Put a lid on, then sautée for 3 minutes over low heat.
- Meanwhile whisk the eggs with the milk.
- Pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and peas, allowing it to spread out. After a minute or so scatter the olives on top, put the lid on, and cook for about 5 minutes until the egg has just set. Add the parsley and the grated cheese. Either put the pan in the oven under the grill for a couple of minutes, or put the lid on and cook for about 3 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
- Slide the omelette to a plate. Cut it into slices and serve with salad. Alternatively, let it cool, then cut it into bite-sized squares and serve as tapas.
