Chef approved

They say a chef never reveals their secrets, but chef Carlos Afonso is going to break that rule to show that IKEA has kitchenware worthy of haute cuisine. In this episode, learn the recipe for a Spanish tortilla, created by a Portuguese chef with Swedish inspiration.

Shrimp tortilla

Ingredients

Tortilla base
- 400g potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 4 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
- Fine salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 500g cooking oil
- 200g peeled SJÖRAPPORT shrimp
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 10g olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste 

Cilantro and dill pesto
- 30g fresh cilantro leaves
- 10g fresh dill
- 30g pine nuts
- 1 small clove garlic
- 50g extra virgin olive oil
- 10g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp lemon juice

 

Preparation

  1. Heat a saucepan with the oil over low heat; add the thinly sliced potatoes and confit for 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl with salt and pepper. Add the confit potatoes and shrimp, mix well, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan, add a drizzle of the oil where the potatoes were confited, and pour in the mixture. Cook over low heat for about 3 minutes on each side, flipping with the help of a plate and a silicone spatula.
  4. In a tall glass, combine the cilantro, dill, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, a stream of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, egg yolk, and a little oil. Blend until a smooth and shiny cream is obtained.
  5. On the plate, place the tortilla, add the pesto on top, and finish with a little grated Parmesan and cilantro and dill leaves.
