Hi food_lover; if you find you are burning the bottom of the omelette, when it is just beginning to set around the edges, take it off the heat and put the frying pan under the grill - this completes the cooking of the top of the omelette without the need for messy turning, and stops the bottom being burnt - simples!
Hi caracole…. I think you must mean…. “Any decent Spanish cook will tell youâ€â€¦. next time don’t try and write English if you can’t…. and BTW this is a version of “Spanish Omelette†using ingredients that one may find around any British kitchen. Clearly, as you are an expert at this dish why don’t you post your recipe so that we can all share it - I would love to try the “real thingâ€. While you are at it do you have a good recipe for Estofado de Rez a la Catalana.
Sorry Kenny Any decent spaniard cook would tell you that spanish tortillas do not have butter and bacon, we use olive oil and good jamon serrano instead. Also, the basic "tortills espaniola" only has eggs, potatoes, onions, salt and pepper. Do not call it spanish the next time please.
Hi Fayezee - yes, I have heard of a version with Chorizo sausage. I think that addition would certainly turn this fab dish from a snack into a full meal. Thanks for your comment sounds like a lovely addition I will give it a try!
Yeh I know what you mean! I have on occasion used margarine and that works just as well. In fact as I recall I used Clover Margarine and there was little if any noticeable difference.
