Chorizo tortilla recipe
- 25 g (0.9oz) bag of good quality lightly salted crisps
- 1 small onion
- 200 g (7.1oz) chorizo sausage, chopped
- 50 g (1.8oz) green pitted olives
- 1 dash olive oil for frying
- 5 large eggs
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 pinch table salt
- 3 drops of lemon juice
- 200 ml (7fl oz) extra virgin olive oil
- 100 ml (3.5fl oz) vegetable oil
- Slice the onion thinly and fry in a non-sticking pan with a bit of olive oil over a high heat until lightly golden brown.
- Add the chopped chorizo and cook for a further 2 minutes and remove from the pan.
- Mix the crisps in a bowl with the onion, chorizo, eggs and olives, and season with a pinch of black pepper.
- Leave the mix soaking for 10 minutes so that the crisps soak up all the egg.
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil into the pan and pour in the egg mix.
- Lower the heat to a minimum.
- Gently cook the tortilla for a few minutes or until set on the bottom but still with some wet egg on top.
- Finish cooking under a hot grill for about 3-5 minutes - the top should have a lightly golden colour.
- Make the garlic mayonnaise if using: place the garlic, egg yolks, salt and a few drops of lemon juice in a blender and mix.
- Slowly add the oil in a thin and long drizzle until the mayonnaise has a thick creamy texture.
- Serve with the warm tortilla.
