This recipe is inspired by tortilla espaƱola.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 chorizos
  • 2 tbsp ghee or butter
  • 2 small brown onions
  • 150-200 g cassava
  • 6 large eggs
  • salt

Instructions

  • Cook cassava in salted water until tender but not mushy. Drain and slice.
  • Thinly slice onions.
  • Slice chorizo and cook in a pan (you won't need any fat). Reserve.
  • In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon ghee or butter. Add onions, cassava and a pinch of salt, and cook in low heat until soft and slightly browned.
  • Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt (you won't need much because chorizo is usually very salty).
  • Add another tablespoon of ghee or butter to the pan, let melt, add chorizo, and pour the eggs on top.
  • Let cook until the eggs have almost set (covering the pan with a lid helps), then carefully use a spatula to make sure the tortilla lifts easily from the pan, and slide it on a large plate or flat pan lid (the side that was on the bottom of the pan should remain on the bottom of the plate/lid).
  • Quickly and without hesitation, invert the tortilla on the pan so that it cooks on the other side.
  • When it's done, divide in portions and serve with your choice of vegetables.
