bienvenidos and welcome to another episode of Spain on a fork today we’re going to grab the almighty onion or as we call in Spain cebolla truly one 
of the best ingredients available to us because they’re easily accessible and filled with so much goodness and create an extraordinary recipe we’re talking crispy onion fritters these 
are known as Tortillitas Crujientes de Cebolla this recipe is basically onions that you saute in 
olive oil until they’re lightly caramelized then you add the onions into a delicious 
batter and finally you fry spoonfuls of the batter in extra virgin olive oil until you 
end up with crispy and golden fritters folks we’re talking easy to make a ton of great 
flavors and the best part is all done in about 30 minutes alright let’s just dive 
right into this I’m going to start by thinly slicing three medium sized onions for this 
recipe I’m using typical yellow onions but you can also use white onions red 
onions or even sweet onions if you like then we’ll heat a large fry pan with a 
medium heat and add in a generous 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil which is 35 ml
make sure to use the good stuff here as this is what truly makes the difference link where
you can get the Spanish one I’m using in the description box below after a couple 
minutes we’ll add in the sliced onions and a pinch of sea salt and we’ll mix the onions 
around that way they’re coated in the olive oil and you don’t have 
to mix this around continuously but do get in there every 2 to 3 minutes
that way all the onions evenly sauté after about 15 to 20 minutes and the onions are lightly caramelized once again I’ve been mixing this every 2 to 3 minutes I’m going to add in 
four cloves of garlic that I roughly chopped and we’ll give it a mix and go 
for about 30 seconds on the garlic or until it’s nice and fragrant and 
then turn off the heat in the pan for the next step let’s start making 
the batter I’m going to add in half a cup of all-purpose flour into 
a large bowl which is 60 g and half a teaspoon of baking powder which is 
2 g and whisk the dry ingredients together then we’ll make a well in the middle crack 
in one large egg and whisk the egg and then we’ll add 1/3 cup of beer which is 
90 ml and whisk it all together until we end up with a smooth batter I’m using a typical 
Spanish beer but you can use whatever beer you like and if alcohol is not your thing you can 
also use club soda here or even sparkling water once we end up with a smooth batter
we’ll add in our sauteed onions along with half a teaspoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika which is a little over 1 g 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin which is a little over half 
a gram and two tablespoons of chopped chives which is 5 g then we’ll season with sea 
salt and freshly cracked black pepper and we’ll give it a mix until 
it’s well mixed together and that’s the exact texture you want for your 
batter If you see that yours is too thick or thin just adjust the amount of liquid and 
flour that you add in there either way and like I’ve told you in the past when you’re making 
these fritter batters they’re very forgiving meaning even if you don’t have them right on the money you’re still going to end up with delicious fritters for the final step let’s start cooking 
them up I’m going to heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in a 1/4 cup of extra 
virgin olive oil which is 60 ml once again make sure to you use the good stuff here as this is what truly makes the difference link where you can get the Spanish one I’m using in the description 
box below after a couple minutes and the oil is nice and hot we’ll start adding in spoonfuls of 
the batter and you want to make sure all the fritters are in a single layer and evenly spaced out so
cook this in batches to not overcrowd the pan and we’re going to go for about 3 minutes per 
side or until the fritters are golden and crispy and as you finish each batch transfer the 
fritters into a dish with some paper towels once all the fritters have been fried 
up let’s make a simple mayo aioli that truly compliments them I’m going to add two 
cloves of garlic that I roughly chopped into a mortar along with 1/4 teaspoon of saffron 
threads which is about 1/4 g link where you can get the Spanish golden saffron I’m using in the 
description box below and a pinch of sea salt and using a pestle we’ll pound down 
on the ingredients until we end up with a paste-like texture you can also use 
a food processor here or even a hand blender then we’ll add in half a cup 
of mayonnaise which is 120 g squeeze in 1 teaspoon of fresh 
lemon juice which is 5 ml and drizzle in 1 tbsp of extra 
virgin olive oil which is 15 ml then we’ll season with a kiss of sea 
salt and freshly cracked black pepper and give it a whisk until we end up with a 
beautiful creamy sauce then we’ll transfer the mayo aioli into a serving 
dish and decorate the fritters around it and check it out folks our crispy onion fritters 
are done easy to make beautiful presentation and all done in about 30 minutes let’s give 
these a try and see how they turned out once again folks Tortillitas Crujientes de Cebolla this I cannot wait to try sorry I’m so excited moment of truth here we go you know check that out we’ve done a lot 
of fritter recipes here on Spain on a fork probably over 10 these right here sit up there 
with the best of them you have that light crispy texture on the outside the inside so many 
amazing flavors with those onions really shining through and that simple mayo aioli taking this to the next level easy to make just a handful of ingredients give it a try at home either as a tapas appetizer or even as a side dish either way the kind of food that with each bite it’s going to fill
