Salt Cod Tortilla

Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté Onion in Olive Oil

   11 min

   In a frying pan, pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and slightly golden brown, which should take about 8 minutes. Once done, carefully remove the onion from the pan and set it aside to cool.

2. 2

   Cook Potatoes and Combine Ingredients

   20 min

   In the same pan, add 300g Jersey Royal potatoes that have been peeled and cut into small pieces. Cook the potatoes until they become tender but still hold their shape, turning them occasionally; partially cover the pan to help them cook evenly. After about 10-15 minutes, stir in the reserved onions and 2 chopped cloves of garlic, cooking for an additional 4 minutes, then combine this mixture in a bowl with 8 eggs and 2.5 tablespoons of parsley. Season with salt and let it sit for 30 minutes to meld the flavors.

3. 3

   Prepare Salt Cod

   20 min

   In a separate saucepan, place 300g salt cod and cover it with water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat, cover the pot, and let the cod sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate. After draining and cooling, carefully remove the skin and any bones, then flake the cod into large pieces and fold it into the potato and egg mixture.

   Cook the Tortilla Mixture

   13 min

   In a non-stick frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Pour the tortilla mixture into the pan, allowing it to spread out evenly. Cook patiently until the edges start to set and pull away from the sides of the pan; you might want to cover it to ensure that the center cooks through without burning the bottom. Use a spatula to check underneath occasionally to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Flip and Finish Cooking Tortilla

   6 min

   When the tortilla is mostly set, carefully slide it onto a large plate. Invert the pan over the plate and quickly flip the tortilla back into the pan, uncooked side down. Continue cooking on low heat until the underside is golden brown, or place it under a grill until just set. Allow the tortilla to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
