Spinach, raw130 g
Bell peppers, red (substitute for piquillo)104.0 g
Olive oil4.4 g

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper until frothy.

2

Heat the olive oil in a small 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red bell peppers and sauté until softened and slightly charred.

3

Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring just until wilted and the water has evaporated—this ensures the tortilla doesn't become soggy.

4

Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables, tilting the pan to ensure even distribution. Turn the heat down to low.

5

Cook for about 3-4 minutes, lifting the edges with a spatula to let the raw egg run underneath, until the center is set but still tender.

6

Place a flat plate over the skillet, invert the tortilla onto it, then slide it back into the pan to brown the other side for 60 seconds.

7

Serve warm, cut into wedges, garnished with a final pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon.
