Got Canned Artichokes? Make this Spanish-Style Artichoke Omelette
Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil4 tbsp
- Onion2
- Garlic4 cloves
- Artichoke2 cans
- Egg6
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Drain the artichokes, shake off excess liquid, and dry them well on paper towels in a single layer. Cut each into 4 even pieces. Finely chop the onions, roughly chop the garlic, and whisk the eggs in a large bowl with sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and add 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil.
- After a couple of minutes, add the onion and garlic and stir constantly. When the onions are slightly translucent, after 4 to 5 minutes, add the artichokes and keep mixing gently.
- When the artichokes are lightly sautéed, after 3 to 4 minutes, season with sea salt and a tiny pinch of black pepper, mix, then remove from the heat.
- Transfer the whole mixture into the bowl of whisked eggs, mix, and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the same pan over low-medium heat and add 1 tbsp (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil.
- After 3 to 4 minutes, pour in the egg mixture and spread it evenly into a flat layer.
- After 4 to 5 minutes, flip the omelette: place a plate slightly smaller than the pan over it and quickly invert the pan onto the plate. Slide it back into the pan, then use the back of a spatula to push the edges toward the center to form a rounded shape.
- When the eggs are fully cooked, about another 4 to 5 minutes, remove from the heat and slide the omelette onto a serving dish. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
