  • Mastering a classic Spanish dish just got easier. The wonderful Omar Allibhoy is back with his favourite recipe for Tortilla de Patatas - or Spanish omelette to you and me!
    There may be just three ingredients in this dish but each one is used to create an omelette that has bags of flavour.
    Caramelised onion provides a delicious natural sweetness while the softened potato gives texture and depth. Mix through eggs and cook until golden and firm to the touch. The perfect omelette will be slightly soft and gooey in the centre. Makes you want one now doesn’t it?!
    For more Spanish classic’s check out Omar’s book Tapas Revolution www.thespanishchef.com/shop/p... and for a drink that will go great with this, check out the Beer Michelada recipe on Drink's Tube: goo.gl/FGu2D1

    FOR THE NON SPANIARDS:
    People, keep in mind OLIVE OIL is waaaaay cheaper in Spain, we are the largest producers in the world (45%), so it is not a crazy amount (for us) what Omar is using.
    And the oil is NOT BURNED, so you can reuse.
    We have been doing it for generations, and our population keeps growing, so we are not killing ourselves reusing olive oil.

    • @alvarezandre
      @alvarezandre 8 років тому +223

      He took the potatoes out with a skimmer, leaving very little oil in them. In my family, we strain them before adding them to the eggs.
      I don't know about him, but I put that much oil so I don't have to keep moving the potatoes around. Also, I kinda like the oniony oil for cooking other things later (:

    • @LlewenEbag
      @LlewenEbag 8 років тому +37

      María Álvarez André If the pan gets super hot, couldn't the oil burn though? Burnt Olive oil is seriously unhealthy, I think if it goes over 180c you're f*cked. "As hot as possible" seems pretty close to that.

    • @Camuchoide
      @Camuchoide 8 років тому +62

      LlewenEbag You're right. I'm from Spain and it's well known that burning olive oil is very unhealthy. You must low down the heat before it starts smoking.

    • @alvarezandre
      @alvarezandre 8 років тому +122

      LlewenEbag I have never taken the temperature with a termomether, and I think only the chefs (or wannabes) do, but if the oil is burned it is visible, and you can also smell it.

Omar must have tried this out on an Idiot Cook like me, before he made the Video - - the scariest bit was flipping the pan and plate, but he is right, if you put a fair bit of pressure on the plate, and a good strong hold of the pan handle at the end nearest the plate, the pan and plate really do stay together as you flip them. And I am not that strong. Thanks so much, Omar - so PLEASED to succeed. My first YT recipe :-))

      @Charley Says I cook it in 20 minutes for 3-4 people that is. Forget the nonsense about the soaking for 20 minutes, 5 minutes at the most but you´re quite right we want to eat it as soon as possible so most cooks don´t even soak it at all! Having said so I must add that in Spain it´s usually cooked lets say in the morning to be eaten at lunch time. Resting time once cooked makes it so much nicer, no need for it to be hot.
      And please Omar drain the potatoes, beat the eggs and don´t use so much oil! The onion and potato mixture is something between poaching and frying... NOT caramelized!!

    It is actually much better then most I have tried in Spanish restaurants, which tend to be dry.
    For years, I couldn’t quite get it right, but after watching this video, I have cracked it: use lots of extra virgin olive oil and cook the onions first so they are caramelised. Thank you.

      I think there's a difference between dressing a salad with a generous amount of olive oil and drowning it...

    I'm Argentinian and grew up with a Spanish Grandmother. This is without a doubt one of my favorite dishes. And when I feel like splurging, I'd rather have this than domino's or Mcdonald's or In N Out any day of the week.
    It's not mean't to be eaten every day, but it's a glorious day when you do.
    P.S. There is a scrambled recipe of this dish that's much easier to make, tastes similar, but the texture is different. I can't recall the name right now, but it's definitely worth looking at if you want a little less egg and oil in the recipe (emphasis on "little").

      The magic of the recipe is that you are constantly thinking "This is going to be a disaster" "everything is leaking" "why am I even trying" and just at the very end, you get a proper Spanish tortilla and you truly don't know how is it even physically possible.

    This is one of those dishes where the whole is really greater than the sum of the parts, and execution is the key to getting the most from the limited ingredients. I made it once and it came out very average. But, I made it another time and it was absolutely gorgeous. Kudos for the recipe :)

    I've made Tortilla de Patatas more than a few times, and the taste (and mouthfeel) improve tremendously by allowing the dish to cool to room temperature. This allows the internal steam time to vent off (who wants water in their tortilla?) and for the tortilla flavor to become concentrated as its density increases. If you make this in a 10" fry pan, it takes about 30 minutes to cool off; I know it's difficult to wait that long -- it looking and smelling so delicious -- but it's totally worth it!
