Potato and Chorizo Omelet with a Kinda Parsley Salad
- 4 small waxy potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks
- 6 large free-range or organic eggs
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ounces Spanish chorizo sausage, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked
- 2 shallots, peeled and very finely sliced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked
- This omelet is a cross between a Spanish tortilla and an Italian frittata.
- It's Spanish because of the chorizo and potato, but a little Italian too because I like to finish it off in the oven instead of on the burner, so it puffs up like a souffle.
- It has all the things I love in it - potatoes, sausage and eggs.
- Preheat your oven to high, or get your broiler nice and hot.
- Put the potatoes into a saucepan of boiling salted water and simmer them until cooked, then drain in a colander and leave to steam dry.
- Beat the eggs with a fork in a large mixing bowl, season well with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Heat a 7 or 8-inch nonstick, ovenproof frying pan.
- Add the chorizo slices and the potato chunks.
- The chorizo will start to sizzle, releasing all its tasty oils and spices.
- After a couple of minutes, when everything's lightly golden and crisp, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Sprinkle the rosemary leaves into the hot fat.
- As soon as they hit the pan, they'll start to crisp up immediately pour the beaten eggs on top, adding the potatoes and chorizo and spreading everything out evenly.
- Place the whole pan in the preheated oven or under the broiler until the omelet is golden brown on top and just cooked through in the middle.
- While the omelet is cooking, put the shallots into a bowl with the lemon juice, some salt and pepper and a glug of extra-virgin olive oil.
- Toss and pinch the shallots with your fingertips to soften them slightly, and then mix in the parsley leaves.
- Serve a little on top of the omelet and tuck in!
