Method

  • step 1

    Tip the spinach into a large colander and bring a kettleful of water to the boil. Slowly pour the water over the spinach until wilted, then cool under cold water. Squeeze all the liquid out of the spinach and set aside.

  • step 2

    Heat grill to high. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and gently cook the onion and potato for about 10 mins until the potato is soft. While the onion is cooking, beat the eggs together in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir the spinach into the potatoes, then pour in the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly set, then flash the omelette under the grill to set the top. Ease the omelette on to a plate, then flip over back into the pan. Finish cooking the omelette on the underside and turn out onto a board. Serve cut into wedges.

RECIPE TIPS

A large omelette makes a great family supper as it keeps well at room temperature so everyone can cut portions as they come in.

For lunch the next day make omelette sandwiches – a delicacy in Spain. Spread ciabatta rolls with mayo and fill with the omelette and sliced tomato.

You definitely have to parboil the potatoes - no way 10 mins ‘gently cooking’ in a frying pan is going to cook raw potatoes. If I do it again I’ll cook the potatoes completely and then do the onion gently and then add the cooked potatoes and spinach

Not as good as I had hoped. Had to cook potatoes and onion for much longer than stated and they turned out ok in the end but the final result was very bland even after adding and adding more and more seasoning. Something was missing. Maybe two onions would have made a difference or maybe a clove of…

Ok for a base to start from. Too bland on its own.
