    TURKISH TORTILLA DE PATATAS
    3 medium potatoes, diced (dry ones are better because of high starch content, but whatever you have is fine.)
    1 medium onion, sliced crosswise (or diced if you prefer a more distributed onion flavour.)
    6 eggs
    10 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons whipping cream (optional, if you are not on a cheat day like me)
    4 handfuls of sesame seeds
    2 teaspoons salt
    • Place a big pan on high heat and pour 8 tablespoons of olive oil in it.
    • Add the potatoes when the oil is hot. Wait for 3-4 minutes to let the potatoes get a good sear.
    • Stir the potatoes and scrape the bottom with a spatula. Then set the heat on low.
    • Squeeze the onions and place top of the potatoes. Wait for 2 minutes.
    • Give it a stir and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it cook until the onions are browned and the potatoes get crunchier.
    • Beat the eggs, cream and a teaspoon of salt.
    • Put a smaller pan (24 cm, 9 in) on high heat and pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
    • Cover the bottom of the pan with half of the sesame seeds.
    • Transfer the potatoes and onions to the smaller pan and add the egg mixture.
    • Give it a good shake, put the lid on and lower the heat.
    • Let it cook for 8-10 minutes.
    • Cover the top with the remaining sesame seeds. You can finish it off in the oven until the top is golden brown.
    • To continue with the pan, scrape the sides and the bottom in case it sticks.
    • Put a flat-bottomed lid on and flip the eggs onto the lid. Do this away from the flames to avoid any burn.
    • Slide the eggs back into the pan and let it cook for another couple of minutes.
    • Place the egg onto the dish using the lid and enjoy the crunchy outside and silky inside of the potato eggs. For a full Turkish breakfast experience, eat with tomatoes, olives, purslane, fresh cheese - and of course, Turkish tea!
    To make the cheese in the video,
    • How to Make Your Own C...
    • You need to curdle the milk as shown in the video.
    • When the curdling is done, take them on a sieve and add salt while it is hot.
    • Put some weight on it and let cool with weight. Curdles will merge and your cheese will be ready to slice when it is cold.

    I've recently just moved to a country where the environment is very suffocating to myself. For the entire day, I've been sitting inside my university dormitory being incredibly demotivated, while sulking over my life.
    I'm a fan of cooking, always have been this way, and your channel brought me some much-needed happiness during a period of very intense depression.
    Please keep up the great work!

    My wife and I are British. We are both in our sixties now, we didn’t get to go abroad for Holidays till 1997 but we have had some great holidays in Turkey. Many dishes stand out and one I wanna see you do is liver. The way the people over there cook it makes it so creamy and succulent.
    I’m going to give this one a go and see if it tastes like I’ve tried over there.
    With the way this crazy world is going we probably won’t get back again as I’m very disabled now. Lots of love Joy and Dave xx

    As a return gift I'm suggesting the recipe of a 'kheer' that is my comfort food....you take a bottle gourd(medium sized), peel it grate it and then cook it with little water in a pressure cooker or a pan for about 5 mins...on the other hand take a litre of full cream milk and boil it till it gets thicker and boils down to almost half the original quantity...now add the grated bottle gourd cook for about 5 minutes add sugar to taste and some cardamom powder ...let it cool down and enjoy! 😀

    I am from Spain and in my family we make the tortilla de patatas almost like you do. We like potates crunchy on the outisde and soft in the inside. The onion cooks almost the same time as the potates and becomes soft and caramelized. We also flip the tortilla to brown it on the other side, but we really like the eggs to be some kind of raw in the inside so we cook it at high heat so only the outisde parts of the eggs are set. It makes the creamiest tortilla ever. My grandma made the best tortilla in the family, I loved her to bits.

      Depending on the dish I’ve found that a purée of a suitable vegetable can help thicken. Doesn’t have to be a lot, especially if it’s potato. Also, red lentils break down so easily and melt into whatever you’re making. I find I don’t taste them at all and tend to put them into a lot of things for the fiber and iron benefit.

    • @LotusPrayer2
      @LotusPrayer2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Dawne Smith-Sliming correct me if I’m wrong: cook red lentil in a batch until it’s soft and creamy, add a spoonful of red lentil into the dish to thicken it... one batch of red lentil can last several meals... or if it’s for pot of soup, add handful of red lentil while it’s cooking, treat it as additional ingredients

    • @dawnesmith-sliming7004
      @dawnesmith-sliming7004 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      LotusPrayer2 Exactly! Anything that I’m going to bring to a boil and then simmer for at least 20 minutes I can put the lentils right in the dish. I prefer to have some prepared but sometimes I don’t plan ahead. I should have also mentioned I always rinse my lentils even though they don’t need soaking this beans.

      If in a hurry I thicken soups and stews with instant mashed potato flakes (or grate a raw potatoe a la Julia Child.)
      Bread crumbs and a spoonful of instant rice can also be added.
      My grandma from Morocco used bean puree ( lentil or garbanzo.)
      Powders such as tapioca starch, arrowroot or seaweed powder can also thicken broths.

Well i am working, spent long time working from home but went back to the office about 3 months ago. So far my grown son has had to isolate twice and grandchildren twice. I have been lucky so far

    Oh my soul! Purslane! Down here in South Africa, we think this is a weed and we pull it out and discard it! And it's not like we can afford not to eat whatever Nature gifts us, being a poor country. I read that this was very nutritious and edible, but I never believed it... NOW I do! Thanks, Rafika!

      Actually it is a common plant used in many Turkish recipes; you can cook them with some tomato paste, onions and some rice with a little bit of water, or you can chop them finely and mix them with some plain yoghurt and garlic and eat it cold as a side dish. These two ways they are pretty tasty in my opinion especially because I like the savoury taste of it 😍👌

      I also pulled them out of my garden into the trash. Then my auntie got cancer and her Dr. suggested she eat it for its high vitamin and mineral properties and cancer fighting enzymes. We eat it like a Watercress salad (onions tomatoes and vinegrette.)
      PLEASE more purslane recipes Refika!
      How am I surviving COVID? Enjoying the Turkish Nigella and dreaming of a vacation in Instanbul. What a wonderful Ambassador for Turkey Refika is.
      I would love a tour of Instanbul and a visit to a few local eateries or a farmer's market.

Well potato omelette is confort food for Puertoricans but this time I’m adding sesame seeds. That’s is going to be a surprise for my husband. Thank you very much. Take care. Many Blessings ❤️PS.

What a happy, warm, educational, gently authoritative video. You packed a lot into 13 minutes and captured so much atmosphere and character. All edited and designed with flair. Thank you for introducing me to even more Turkish culture and cuisine! xo

Böyle bir iki haftadır bahçenin önünde ki vazoda bir bitki yetişiyordu, biz de anlamadık ama suladık vs, apartmandakiler kesmesin diye üstüne notlar bıraktık, meğerse semiz otuymus , şimdi senden görünce öğrendik :) sevgiler.

    My mom is from Barcelona, I learned it from her, so very fun to see a turkish twist on it. We sometimes make all kinds of different ones (for example the classic, chorizo, paprika, asparagus, tuna, artichoke, well almost every variation is possible) and a couple of different salads for the side and bread and dips like alioli and herb butter (tapas style).

    I didnt know that tortilla de patatas is also popular in Türkiye. I love spanish food, when in Spain, my favorite breakfast, is a slice of torilla de patatas, a glass of orange juice and an espresso. In Türkiye, its either "only" menemem (but without meat), or once a week or so, the "grand turkish breakfast".
