1
Drain the two cans of tuna in a fine sieve with a bowl underneath to collect the oil, then gently flake the tuna.
2
Heat the 10 inch (25 cm) non-stick fry pan over medium heat and add the 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of drained tuna oil.
🔥 medium heat
3
Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the hot pan and sauté, stirring every minute or so to ensure even cooking.
4
In a large bowl, whisk the 6 large eggs with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper until well mixed.
5
After 7 to 8 minutes of sautéing, add the chopped garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika to the pan. Season with sea salt and black pepper, mixing continuously for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
🔥 sauté⏱ 7 to 8 minutes⏱ 1 minute
6
Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the vegetable mixture into the bowl with the whisked eggs, then add the drained tuna and mix until well combined. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to develop flavors.
7
Heat the non-stick pan over low-medium heat (drizzle a little extra oil if needed). Gently pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it into a flat layer.
🔥 medium heat
8
Cook without mixing for 3 to 4 minutes. Run a spatula around the edges to ensure nothing is sticking, then flip the omelet using a slightly smaller plate to slide it onto the plate and back into the pan.
⏱ 3 to 4 minutes
9
Gently slide the omelet back into the pan, scraping up any remaining bits. Compact the edges towards the center to create a rounded shape, then cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the eggs are just cooked through.
⏱ 3 to 4 minutes
10
Remove from heat and slide the omelet onto a serving dish.

Tips

The higher the quality of the ingredients, the better the overall flavor.
Using a non-stick pan is essential to prevent the omelet from sticking.
Always serve with a crunchy baguette for an authentic Spanish treat.
