Tortilla De Patatas (Spanish Omelette Recipe) Ingredients
4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 6 eggs 1 onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped ¼ litre olive oil Salt
Tortilla de patatas is basically a potato omelets (about 4cm thick). It is popular all over Spain and often served in bars as a tapa and is eaten either hot or cold. Some people prefer to make it without the onions.
First, heat the oil in a large frying pan and then gently fry the sliced potatoes until almost soft, stirring from time to time so that they don't burn on the bottom of the pan. Add the onion and the green pepper and continue frying until all the vegetables are soft. Drain the vegetables in a colander to get rid of the excess oil. Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, etc. and mix well and check seasoning.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a moderate heat. Pour in the potatoes and eggs and shake the frying pan from time to time so that the omelets don’t stick to the bottom. Once the bottom of the omelets has set, turn the heat down low and cover the pan. After about ten minutes, turn the omelets by placing either a flat plate or saucepan lid on the frying pan and quickly turning over. Gently slide the omelets back into the frying pan and continue frying, once again shaking the pan from time to time so that it doesn't stick to the bottom, until it has set all the way through.

Spanish Country Bread --------------------------
1-1/4 cups warm water 1 pkg dry yeast 3-1/4 cups bread flour or unbleached, all-purpose flour 3 tsps salt cornmeal or bread crumbs for sprinkling (optional) 1 egg white for brushing
In a small cup, mix 1/4 cup of the warm water with the yeast. While this mixture sits, mix the flour an salt in a large bowl. Add the softened yeast and the remaining cup of warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon, then turn out onto a working surface and knead for a few minutes, adding a little more flour if necessary until the dough holds together well. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turn to coat with the oil, cover with a towel and place in a warm, draft-free spot for about 3 hours, or until double in size.
Punch down the dough and knead for a few minutes. Divide into 2 equal parts. Roll each piece into an oblong about 5x20" inches. Starting with a long side, roll up tightly, jelly-roll fashion. Pinch to seal the seam and the ends. Place the loaves, seam side down, on a cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal or bread crumbs. Slit the tops in several places, diagonally, with a sharp knife. Cover with a towel and place in a warm spot, again, for 1 hour, or until double in size.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Bake the bread on the middle-upper rack for 20 minutes. If you want a gloss to your crust, mix an egg white in a small bowl with 1 tsp water. After baking 10 minutes, brush the egg mixture on the bread and continue baking the remaining 10 minutes.
