Adding fresh tomatoes, smoky paprika and red peppers gives a Spanish omelette a vibrant flavour boost.

DETAILS
  • Serves 4

  • Preparation time: 10 minutes

  • Cooking time: 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS
  • 375g new potatoes, peeled and cut into medium slices
  • 150g fine green beans, halved
  • 1 tbsp light olive oil
  • 2 large red peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 large very ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 red chilli, chopped
  • 1½ tbsp tomato purée
  • leaves from 2 sprigs of thyme or ½ tsp dried
  • 3 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 100g frozen peas, thawed under cold water
  • 2 handfuls of flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 6 large free-range, organic eggs
  • bread and salad, to serve
METHOD
  1. Bring the potatoes to the boil in a pan of cold water, cover and allow to simmer fast for 8 minutes or until tender. Add the green beans for the last 4 minutes into the water or ideally using a steamer on top. Remove them separately to a colander and cool under cold running water.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a shallow 20cm casserole or frying pan over a medium-low heat, add the red peppers and cook for 6 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic, tomatoes, paprika, chilli, tomato purée, thyme and some salt and pepper, mix well and cook for 15 minutes or until thickened and reduced.
  3. Stir in the spring onions, potatoes, green beans, peas and half the parsley. Roughly beat the eggs and fold through. Turn the heat up to medium, cover with a lid and cook for 10–15 minutes, until the eggs are set.
  4. Sprinkle over the rest of the parsley and serve with bread and salad.
