Make an omelette inspired by the Catalonian way, a classic dish made simple with only five ingredientsSpanish omelette in a cast iron frying pan

Ingredients

500g new potatoes

onion, preferably white

150ml extra-virgin olive oil

3 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

eggs

Method

  • STEP 1

Scrape the new potatoes or leave the skins on, if you prefer. Cut them into thick slices. Chop the onion.

  • STEP 2

Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and onion and stew gently, partially covered, for 30 mins, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are softened. Strain the potatoes and onion through a colander into a large bowl (set the strained oil aside).

  • STEP 3

Beat the eggs separately, then stir into the potatoes with the parsley and plenty of salt and pepper. Heat a little of the strained oil in a smaller pan.

  • STEP 4

Tip everything into the pan and cook on a moderate heat, using a spatula to shape the omelette into a cushion.

  • STEP 5

When almost set, invert on a plate and slide back into the pan and cook a few more minutes.

  • STEP 6

Invert twice more, cooking the omelette briefly each time and pressing the edges to keep the cushion shape. Slide on to a plate and cool for 10 mins before serving.  Enjoy!

Seafood green onion pancake

 Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it! Ingredients   Serves 2 • ½ cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon potato starch(corn starch) • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch of salt • a pinch of ground black pepper • ¾ cup stock (anchovy kelp stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock), or water • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 12 green onions, roots and tops trimmed to 8 to ...
