Spain: Tortilla

The Spanish version of a tortilla is quite a bit different than the Mexican version we've become familiar with in the U.S. A Spanish tortilla is a tasty potato-omelette pie. It's simple, healthy, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. Thank you to summer tomato for sharing the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 large potato, thinly sliced
1/2 large onion, sliced
Olive oil for sautéing (about 2 tablespoons)
6 eggs
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper

Step 1: Find the heaviest pan you have. Heat olive oil until almost smoking.
Step 2: Sauté onion and potatoes in pan until potatoes are soft (5-10 minutes over medium heat). Add a dash of salt and pepper.
Step 3: Meanwhile, lightly whisk eggs and cilantro together.
Step 4: Try to arrange potatoes in pan so they are as flat as possible.
Step 5: Pour egg mixture over potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat. It should be cooked most of the way through, but the egg on top should remain a bit runny.
Step 6: Place pan in broiler for about 2 minutes until the eggs are completely cooked and top is slightly brown.
Step 7: Let cool for about 10 minutes before sliding or flipping out of the pan.

Slice it up like a pie, and serve plain or with your favorite Spanish toppings!
