In Spain, a tortilla is a thin omelet served at room temperature. Roasted potato slices fill this version, while a sharp, tangy red bell pepper sauce tops it. The sauce can be prepared up to 3 days ahead; serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Continue your head start by roasting the potato slices early on the day of the party. Ingredients:
1 medium red bell pepper |
1/2 cup chopped seeded plum tomato |
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted |
2 tablespoons water |
2 tablespoons sherry or cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon extravirgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 (1-ounce) slice white bread, toasted |
tortilla |
1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices |
2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil |
cooking spray |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided |
1 cup egg substitute |
3 large eggs |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. To prepare romesco, cut bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place bell pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 6 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 20 minutes. Peel and chop bell pepper. Place the chopped bell pepper in a food processor. Add tomato and next 10 ingredients (tomato through bread); process mixture until smooth.
3. Preheat oven to 350°.
4. To prepare tortilla, combine potato slices and 2 teaspoons olive oil on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bake potatoes at 350° for 40 minutes or until tender, turning after 20 minutes. Remove potato slices from oven.
5. Preheat broiler.
6. Combine egg substitute and eggs in a large bowl; stir with a whisk until foamy (about 2 minutes). Stir in potato slices, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
7. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Pour egg mixture into pan, spreading potatoes in an even layer with a spatula. Reduce heat to medium; cook 4 minutes or until edges are set and bottom is lightly browned. Wrap handle of skillet with foil; broil 4 minutes or until set. Remove from oven; invert onto a serving platter. Cool at least 5 minutes or to room temperature before serving with romesco sauce.
