How to Make

  • Step 1: Grill/broil croutes till crisp or lightly bake in the oven.

  • Step 2: For the tortilla - heat a non-stick ovenproof pan and add a little olive oil and fry the onion for approximately 2 minute and then add potatoes and toss/cook for a further 2 minutes and now add the garlic, toss and remove from heat and add this mix to whisked eggs and season with salt and white pepper, your tortilla mix is ready.

  • Step 3: Heat the same (cleaned) non-stick pan with oil until almost smoking and then add your tortilla mix and gently shake, levelling out the mix and then turn the heat down (otherwise it will catch/burn) and place the tortilla in a preheated oven (175C) and cook for approximately 15 minutes.

  • Step 4: Remove from oven and check by touching the tortilla and cooking at the colour and if you're happy, remove and cool for a few minutes.

  • Step 5: Them, place a regular ketchen plate over the tortilla and carefully turn the tortilla over, 180 degrees and if it's a little underdone and the eggs needs to set more, place back in the pan and cook until ready.

  • Step 6: Place in the fridge until ready to use (this dish, like most of these pintxo can be done in advand/the night before.

  • Step 7: For the tapas - slice your tortilla into a thin wedge and place the cooked tortilla slice on top of bread croute and drizzle/squeeze garlic alioli and add red piquillo pepper and drizzle then with extra virgin olive oil and shredded parsley and add a beautful skewer through the layers
