SPANISH OMELETTE

We are cooking today such an essential and basic dish in Spanish cuisine! There are Spanish Omelette lovers that can not pass a day without a portion! Easy to make and cheap, I will show you the way I make it

INGREDIENTS:

- 4 eggs

- 1 onion

- 4 medium potatoes

- Milk

- Salt and Olive oil

First of all we have to peel and wash the potatoes. Then you cut them into small thin pieces. I use a deep fryer to fry them but it is fine if you use a pan. Oil must be very hot.

While the potatoes are frying we prepare the eggs and milk, add some salt

And mix it very well

We can alsi chop the onion into small pieces while the potatoes finish frying.

I like to drain the fried potatoes as much as possible, so at the same time I fry the onion, I leave the potatoes draining in the deep - fryer' s basket. You must cook the onion using low heat.

Once the potatoes are drained, you add them to the mixture of eggs, milk and salt.

And you have to mix it as much as possible

Finally, we add the fried onion and mix everything very well

Then it´s time to fry the mixture! We ca use the same pan where we fried the onion. You must heat a little bit of oil previously

Using a wood spoon we distribute the mixture in all the pan's surface. We cook it using low heat during 5 minutes

To turn it down we use a dish, cover the pan and turn it down.

Now it's time to fry the other side during 5 minutes

I normally use the wood spoon to give it a nicer shape.

There you go! Enjoy it!!!

COURGETTE PANCAKES

These are fantastic as a side for main courses like fish or meat. Change the typical salad or fries and introduce variety in your table. Everybody will love them!

- 1 courgette 

- 2 eggs 

- A clove of garlic 

- 3 spoons of flour

- 1 sachet of baking powder
- Salt, Olive Oil

- We need to grate the courgette. It must look like this:

- Beat the eggs

- Add the flour

And the grated courgette

Mix everything well

- Grind the garlic clove and add it to the previous mixture

- Finally, we use the baking powder socket and mix everything again.

- Using a spoon, take portions of the mixture and put them in a pan with hot oil

- You have to fry them on both sides

Don't they look yummy??

THERMOMIX 3300

My father in law was the owner of one of those marvellous kitchen devices called "Thermomix".
He had a 3300 model, which today is kind of retro (it was bought in 1990). We are lucky to keep it in our kitchen and it still works! We had some technological problems with it, but we could fix them and she is one of my best helpers in the kitchen.
The second difficulty I found when I started using it, was the lack of Internet sources where you can find recipes. Luckily, my father in law had some books, so in this section of my blog I will try to help Thermomix 3300 owners with recipes that can be done with our device.
I know that new models have more cooking options but I can assure you that those dishes I prepare with my Thermomix are delicious.
Hope you find this section useful!
