CLASSIC SPANISH TORTILLA WITH ROASTED JALAPENO PESTO
Spanish tortillas (or frittatas, depending upon your country of influence) are a godsend for brunch entertaining. A classic egg dish every bit as delicious and satisfying as an omelet, a tortilla takes far less time to prepare than individual omelets ever could -- you simply whisk everything up in a bowl, transfer to a nonstick or really well-seasoned cast-iron pan, and bake until puffy. You also benefit from a bit of wiggle room with timing, as tortillas, a version of which is on the menu of nearly every tapas spot in Spain, are traditionally served at room temperature. I used to serve this tortilla adorned with kicked-up parsley-based pesto at my restaurant Bolo many years ago, and now I serve it on tortillas in my home kitchens, as well as on fish tacos, grilled pork, scrambled eggs, and even homemade pizza.

Steps:
- For the Roasted Jalapeño Pesto: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, toss the jalapenos with a few teaspoons of canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in an even layer and roast until golden brown and charred, turning once, about 18 minutes. Return the jalapenos to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 15 minutes. Peel and seed the jalapenos (discard the skin and seeds) and transfer to a food processor.
- Add the parsley, pine nuts, and garlic to the food processor and pulse to coarsely chop. With the motor running, add the olive oil through the feed tube and process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl, fold in the cheese, and season with salt and pepper. The pesto can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 2 days.
- For the Classic Spanish Tortilla: Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add half the potatoes and one-third of the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat if needed, so that they do not brown, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 8 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a colander set over a bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 cup oil to the pan and heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the remaining potatoes and one-third more of the thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook as you did the first batch. Transfer the second batch of potatoes to the colander with the first and set aside.
- Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the oil from the pan into a heatproof measuring cup and set aside. Heat the oil remaining in the pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining thyme and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until lightly frothy and evenly colored, about 2 minutes. Fold the potatoes and onions into the eggs until evenly combined. In the pan you used to cook the potatoes, heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the egg mixture to the pan, making sure the potatoes and onions are evenly distributed. As soon as the edges firm up, after a minute or so, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the bottom is set and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and broil until the top is puffed and lightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the strength of your broiler.
- Rub a spatula around the outside of the pan and along the bottom and slide the tortilla out onto a cutting board. Cut the tortilla into wedges and transfer to a plate. Let cool slightly.
- To serve: Drizzle the tortilla with pesto and serve warm (not hot) or at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
SPICE RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS, JALAPENO PESTO AND POMEGRANATE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the pork tenderloin: To a bowl, add the paprika, brown sugar, coriander, cumin, mustard powder, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper, and stir to combine.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil in a cast-iron pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Sprinkle the tenderloin on both sides with the seasoning mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the pork in the pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Put the pan into the oven and roast the pork to medium (an internal temperature of 130 degrees F), about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch-thick medallions.
- For the pomegranate sauce: Whisk together the pomegranate molasses, vinegar, mustard and honey in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
- For the pesto: Combine the cilantro, cheese, pine nuts, jalapenoes, garlic, and some salt and pepper in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and process until emulsified. Scrape into a bowl.
- For the Brussels sprouts: Put the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet , toss with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until light golden brown and a knife inserted into the centers goes in without any resistance, 20 to 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve, reheat the brussels sprouts in a saute pan with the butter. Then add the pomegranate molasses.
- Plating: Place 2 pork medallions cut-side up on a plate. Top with some pomegranate sauce across the pork and a dollop of jalapeno pesto on the top of each pork medallion. Add some Brussels sprouts on the side, garnish with hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds and cilantro.
CILANTRO JALAPENO PESTO WITH LIME
This is a spicy alternative to classic basil pesto. You can control the spiciness by using less jalapeno and by removing the seeds and white membrane of the pepper before adding it to the pesto. If you like the spice, just throw it all in!

Serve at room temperature.

- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread whole jalapenos on a lightly greased baking sheet. Slightly spray jalapenos with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes, turning half way through. Let cool.
- Reduce oven to 350°F. Lay nuts on sheet pan and bake for 4-5 minutes, until slightly toasted. Let cool.
- Clean basil and dry. We like using a salad spinner to dry the basil because it prevents bruising to the leaves. Remove tops from jalapenos and discard.
- Add lemon juice, pine nuts (or walnuts), jalapenos, and garlic cloves to blender and blend well. Add basil and slowly add oil while blending. Stop when all ingredients are fully incorporated. Add cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper, blend for 2-3 seconds. Add Parmesan cheese and blend. Store in air tight container with small layer of olive oil on top to help preserve green color.
