In 'Three Guys from Miami Celebrate Cuban' Ingredients:
1 cup peeled thinly sliced new potato |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 cup chopped onion |
salt |
pepper |
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
2 lobster tails, meat removed from shell and cut into bite-size pieces (may substitute 1/2 lb. sea scallops, cut in bite-size pieces) |
1/2 lb cooked crabmeat |
cumin, to taste |
12 eggs, beaten with 5 tablespoons soft butter (room temperature) |
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Use cast-iron pan, 10-12 inches in diameter and 2-3 inches deep; OR any frying or saute pan deep enough to hold the egg mixture. 2. Parboil potatoes by placing them in a saucepan full of lightly salted water; bring to a boil, decrease heat to low and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes; drain. 3. Heat some olive oil in the pan, and saute the potatoes and onions until lightly browned, stirring frequently. 4. Season the potatoes and onions with salt and pepper; remove from pan and set aside. 5. Add a little more oil to the pan and saute the shrimp, lobster, and crabmeat in small batches until just barely cooked through; lightly salt, pepper, and add cumin to the seafood as you cook it, turning frequently (don't overcook; it is better to undercook the seafood a bit at this point); remove seafood from pan and set aside. 6. There should now be some oil remaining in the pan; for the next step you'll want just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan; so if there is more than that, drain some off now. 7. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a wire whisk; add softened butter, whisking vigorously; you will now have little flecks of butter in the egg mixture. 8. Whisk in a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper; add potatoes, onions, and seafood to beaten eggs. 9. Heat the remaining oil in the pan to med-hot; pour the egg mixture in the pan and cover. 10. Immediately decrease heat to low; cook for approximately 7-10 minutes until the eggs are set and firm. 11. Cover the pan with a large plate and flip. 12. Return to the pan and fry the other side until just lightly browned. 13. Cut the tortilla into 12 wedges and garnish with chopped parsley. |
