Servings: persons

25 g (0.9oz) bag of good quality lightly salted crisps
1 small onion
200 g (7.1oz) chorizo sausage, chopped
50 g (1.8oz) green pitted olives
1 dash olive oil for frying
5 large eggs
1 pinch black pepper
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 egg yolks
1 pinch table salt
3 drops of lemon juice
200 ml (7fl oz) extra virgin olive oil
100 ml (3.5fl oz) vegetable oil

1
Slice the onion thinly and fry in a non-sticking pan with a bit of olive oil over a high heat until lightly golden brown.
2
Add the chopped chorizo and cook for a further 2 minutes and remove from the pan.
3
Mix the crisps in a bowl with the onion, chorizo, eggs and olives, and season with a pinch of black pepper.
4
Leave the mix soaking for 10 minutes so that the crisps soak up all the egg.
5
Drizzle a bit of olive oil into the pan and pour in the egg mix.
6
Lower the heat to a minimum.
7
Gently cook the tortilla for a few minutes or until set on the bottom but still with some wet egg on top.
8
Finish cooking under a hot grill for about 3-5 minutes - the top should have a lightly golden colour.
9
Make the garlic mayonnaise if using: place the garlic, egg yolks, salt and a few drops of lemon juice in a blender and mix.
10
Slowly add the oil in a thin and long drizzle until the mayonnaise has a thick creamy texture.
11
Serve with the warm tortilla.
