Spanish omelette (tortilla) with Boletus and Foie Gras Recipe

This recipe for omelet with boletus and foie gras is a variant of the tortilla, the Spanish omelet with potatoes. It is a perfect dish for autum. Especially if you got out to the contryside to pick these mushrooms. This is an omelet with ingredients a bit “posh”, but I assure you it is to die for. I found this version in a small restaurant in Madrid specializing in tortillas. I had not had a good day and a few friends suggested me to go out with them. They had just discovered this place and they knew that a place like this will cheer me up. They were absolutely right 😉
