Chorizo Cheese Tortilla

We just returned from an annual family vacation in Denmark, during which all family members take turns cooking. It's normally a gain-five-pounds deal, though this year ten is more close to reality. On my day I prepared various tapas, including a simple tortilla:

  • Dice and boil 5 large potatoes.
  • Dice one red paprika, an onion and a tomato, fry in an oven-proof pan in some olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Chop 300g of chorizo sausage into chunks and add to pan, fry another 5 minutes, browning evenly.
  • Add diced potatoes.
  • Whisk 5 eggs, season with salt, pepper, paprika and pour into pan. Lift at the edge occasionally to let the egg mixture run underneath.
  • When eggs set, grate a layer of Mahon or Parmesan cheese over everything and put into preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Serve hot, warm or cold in slices.
I also prepared some yummy marinated green olives. Will post here if I recall the recipe.
