Cooking progress:0 / 6 steps (0%)

1. Garden vegetable preparation

Step 1

Cut potatoes into regular cubes, carrots into fine brunoise, and peppers into small dice. Blanch peas for 2 minutes in salted water.

2. Slow olive oil vegetable sofrito

Step 2

In a skillet with EVOO at 130°C, add diced carrots and peppers. Sauté for 8 minutes until softened before adding the potatoes.

3. Combined potato & veggie confit

Step 3

Add potato cubes to the vegetables and confit gently for 15 minutes. In the last minute, fold in the blanched peas. Drain thoroughly.

4. Farmhouse egg integration

Step 4

Whisk eggs with salt. Pour warm vegetables and potatoes into the eggs. Let stand for 4 minutes to harmonize countryside flavors.

5. Traditional Andalusian skillet cook

Step 5

Pour into a hot skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, swirling gently for an even cook and rounded edges.

6. Golden flip & food hygiene rules

Step 6

Flip with a broad plate and cook for 2 more minutes until nicely bronzed. If serving cold at a picnic, ensure it reached **70°C for 2 minutes** and never exceed **4 hours** unrefrigerated.

Grandma's Secret & Thermal Safety

To guarantee maximum food safety while preserving signature juiciness, the culinary standard recommends reaching 70°C for 2 minutes at the center, or 63°C for 20 seconds for immediate serving. Once cooked, do not leave at room temperature for more than 4 hours.
