During my time exploring this picturesque country, I had the pleasure of indulging in the delightful flavors of Andorran cuisine. One dish that stands out as a true taste of Andorra is Truita de Carreroles, a savory mushroom omelet that captures the essence of the mountains.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 200g wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles or porcini), cleaned and sliced
- 6 eggs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 50g cured ham (such as Jamón Serrano or Bayonne ham), diced
- 50g grated cheese (such as Andorran Tomme or Gruyère)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Stir in the cooked mushrooms, diced ham, and grated cheese, reserving a small amount of cheese for garnish.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly to cover the surface.
- Cook the omelette for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is set and golden brown. Carefully flip the omelet using a spatula or by sliding it onto a plate and inverting it back into the skillet.
- Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
- Slide the Truita de Carreroles onto a serving platter and sprinkle with the reserved grated cheese and fresh parsley for garnish.
- Slice the omelet into wedges and serve hot, accompanied by crusty bread and a crisp green salad.
