Spanish Gilda Recipes

SPANISH LEMON FIZZ

Steps:

• Freeze 6 wine glasses for at least 15 minutes.
• Pour the sparkling wine, vodka and lemon juice into a blender. Add the sorbet and ice cream. Blend until thick and smooth, 15 to 30 seconds. Pour into the chilled glasses.
• Spear some berries on a small skewer or toothpick to garnish the glasses. Serve immediately.
• Alternatively, freeze the mixture for several hours until firm and scoop into the glasses and garnish with berries.

SWEET POTATO AND KALE SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and warm. Add the sweet potato, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions and potatoes are beginning to brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted and tender, about 3 minutes.
• Season the eggs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella. Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the mixture, making sure all the potatoes are coated in the egg and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cook on the stove for about 3 minutes to set the bottom. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until golden brown and set, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Run a thin knife along the edges and cut into 16 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPANISH POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add 2/3 cup water and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Scrape the potato mixture into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Wipe out and reserve the skillet. The potato mixture can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
• Combine the eggs, garlic, olives, parsley, thyme and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl. Fold in the cheese and the cooled potato mixture.
• Preheat the broiler. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook, uncovered, until the sides are set and the top edge begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Run a flexible heatproof rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the omelet. Cover tightly; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the center is almost set, about 5 minutes.
• Broil the omelet until the top is fully cooked and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the omelet rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the omelet again around the sides and underneath as far as possible. Slide the omelet onto a platter and garnish with parsley and thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature with Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce.
• Combine the bell peppers, oil, tomato paste, almonds, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, blend in the reserved roasted bell pepper juice, 1 teaspoonful at a time, to thin out the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
