If we think of traditional Spanish dishes, we are sure that most of us think of the typical classic recipes. But what dish would a haute cuisine chef like Albert Adrià choose? The head of the Enigma restaurant gave an exclusive interview to the Tasting Table media and revealed what would be the traditional dish with which to get started in the gastronomy of our country.
For Albert Adrià that perfect preparation for a first bite made in Spain would be, of course, the tortilla de patatas, one of the true culinary emblems of Spain, along with creations such as paella or gazpacho.
In addition, in the interview the Catalan chef also revealed that, although there were no secrets as such, one of the keys to a good omelette is based on repetition. And since it is a fairly basic recipe, based on eggs and potatoes -and onion, of course-, it is of vital importance to choose good quality ingredients: “Good eggs, good potatoes, good omelette”, said the chef in Tasting Table. On the debate of whether to have an omelette with or without onion, Adrià confirmed that he likes either option, so we could also consider him as a ‘concebollista’.
