- 1 Onion
- 1 Tomato
- 1 Peppers
- 1 Potato
- 5 Eggs
Method
- Get the potato's boiling and cooked
- Dice the tomatoes onions and peppers
- Fry the onions first to get them nice and sweet.
- Add the peppers next and then finally the tomatoes. fry all on a low to medium heat and do not fry for more than 15 mins.
- Once the potatoes are ready chop them up into 1 inch by 1 inch chunks mix in with the diced veg.
- Mix up the eggs. Add some pepper and salt.
- Mix the eggs and veg together. mix well.
- Put the heat on a very low setting. It will most likely be the lowest setting you can achieve without the heat going off.
- Cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked for 15 the egg should have become firm with only a little runny egg residual on the top. Turn the egg around, normally using a plate to flip it and cook the other side for 5 more minutes.
- Then Roberts your fathers brother.
- Spanish omelette is actually meant to be better cold so no rush to eat it :)

Hi Kenny, hope you found the tip about using the grill worked well for you - it does for me every time, and saves singed omelettes

Hi Tigh - what a great idea and a practical tip - I do get this problem as well from time to time - thanks for the tip ill give it a go.

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!

i tried it and it was so yummy but i found it very difficult because i burnt it at the bottom but it was really good idea, thanks

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.
Good Luck!
