SPANISH TORTILLA

Next, I will move to next Spain cuisines. Do you guys like to eat omelet as for the breakfast in the morning? If you love to eat omelet for breakfast, you need to try Tortilla Espanola or also known as Spanish Omelet.

            A well-made Spanish tortilla is so good, so satisfying in every way, that I would nominate it to the Great Food Hall of Fame, if only there were such a thing. It has nothing to do with Mexican flour or corn tortillas. If it has a relative, it would be the Italian frittata.
            In Spain, the dish goes by two names: tortilla de patatas or tortilla española. The one thing I avoid calling it is a potato omelet (its English translation) since a Spanish tortilla is more about potatoes than eggs, and the word omelet doesn't really conjure up the right image. Besides, a tortilla is more robust and gratifying than any omelet—and infinitely more versatile. It tastes great whether served warm, cool, or at room temperature. It makes an excellent breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or crowd-pleasing tapa. (A tortilla is a sure hit at any party or pot luck.) It can be made ahead, it's reasonably fast cooking (45 minutes, start to finish), and it welcomes variations (see More ways to enjoy a tortilla).

            A great starter or meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner, no doubt you'll come across a Spanish potato omelette during your time in Spain. Like croquetas, you can find them in almost any bar Top ten foods in Spain: Spanish omlette with potatoand to varying degrees of quality and flavour. The best ones are from slow-cooked potato in olive oil, which make a soft centre once egg is added to create an omelette cake; even tastier when onions are added to the slow-frying process for a sweet underlying flavour. You'll also find wedges of Spanish omelette squeezed between a bocadilla for a tasty sandwich snack.
