Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.
Method
- Boil the potato until tender, about 8-10 mins, then drain and leave to dry off in the colander.
- Warm the oil in an omelette pan and fry the chorizo for 2 mins.
- Tip in the potato and cook for a further 5 mins, until it catches a little colour and crisps at the edges.
- Scoop the chorizo and potato onto a plate and wipe out the pan.
- Beat the eggs and pour into the same pan to make a 2 or 3-egg omelette.
- Just before the egg sets fully, scatter over the chorizo, potato, parsley and cheese.
- Fold the omelette over and cook for 1 min more, until the cheese melts.
