Spanish Omelette with Peas, Potato, Prosciutto & Saffron

Ingredients

250 g of potato (I used red potatoes and sweet potato); washed and cut into baby bite sized pieces
2/3 cup peas
1 medium onion , finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped prosciutto
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads , crumbled between your fingers
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil , divided
Fine grain sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

Cook potatoes in a saucepan for about 7 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy
Add in the peas and cook until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in an oven proof 20cm frying pan (9 inch skillet) over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the saffron and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
Beat the eggs with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Mix in the peas, potatoes, prosciutto and the onion mixture. Wipe the frying pan clean
Move an oven rack to the top position and heat the grill (broiler)
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the cleaned frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot add in the egg mixture and cook, occasionally sliding a spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the omelette. Cook until the bottom/sides of the omelet are golden (the eggs are still runny just on the top), about 8 minutes
Place the pan under the pre-heated grill and cook until just golden brown on top and set 3 – 5 minutes
Allow to cool. The omelette can be cooled to room temperature or even chilled for several hours if desired
Cut the omelette into wedges or into 1 inch squares to serve
