Little saffron tortillas with smoked paprika alioli

Serves 4

Cooking Time Prep time 15 mins, cook 30 mins



Tortillas
120 ml   olive oil
300 gm   chat potatoes, thinly sliced
1   small Spanish onion, thinly sliced
1 clove   garlic, finely chopped
½ tsp   saffron threads
4   eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp   coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
Smoked paprika alioli
2   egg yolks
1 clove   garlic, finely chopped
½ tsp   smoked paprika
1½ tbsp   sherry vinegar
125 ml (½ cup)   olive oil
½ tsp   lemon juice


1 For smoked paprika alioli, combine egg yolks, garlic, paprika and vinegar in a small bowl and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add oil, a drop at a time, whisking continuously until completely incorporated and you have a thick, glossy mixture. Add lemon juice, mix to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
2 Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over low heat, add potato, onion, garlic and saffron and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until starting to soften. Season to taste, add 200ml water and cook for another 10-12 minutes or until water evaporates and vegetables are just tender, then tip into a bowl.
3 Add eggs and parsley to potato mixture and stir gently to combine, without breaking up potatoes, then season to taste.
4 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a rösti pan over low heat, add a quarter of the potato and egg mixture to pan, pushing potatoes under egg, and cook for 5 minutes or until egg is set around edges and almost set in the centre. Invert onto a plate, then return to pan, cooked-side up, and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm, then repeat with remaining oil and mixture. Serve tortillas with smoked paprika alioli.


Drink Suggestion Amontillado sherry.
