Spanish Omelette With Chorizo Salsa

This dish has many of the ingredients of the traditional Spanish Tortilla and certainly takes its inspiration from this wonderful offering. This omelette starts with a cooked potato base before adding egg to mix and cook through. It is then placed under the grill to create a lovely golden finish. Topped with a salsa of chorizo, capsicum, tomato & herbs and you have a wonderful meal that is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
• 700 g potatoes I use desiree - thinly sliced to approx 5mm thick
• 2/3 cup Olive Oil
• 2 Brown Onions diced
• Salt to season
• 10 Eggs whisked
Chorizo Salsa
• 1 Chorizo Sausage Mild or spicy to your preference - chopped into small pieces

• 1/2 Red Capsicum diced

2. Add onion to pan and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.
3. Return potato slices to the pan, fanning them out across the pan.
4. Pour in the egg and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the egg is almost cooked. Note: move the egg at the side, with a lifter, every so often to allow the egg to spread and cook evenly.
5. When the egg is almost cooked put the pan under a hot grill for a few minutes until the top is golden. Note: watch this step closely as it is easy to over cook the top and burn.
6. Remove from grill and top with chorizo salsa (per instructions below) for serving.
