Recipe Name: Tortilla Espanola Category: Appetizer
Cooking Method: Yield: 2 Servings
Method of Work
Prep:
Wash, Peel and small dice the potatoes and submerge in water.
Wash, and small brunoise the bellpepper.
Finely chop the onion.
Cut the bacon into thin strips.
Beat the egg in a bowl, season with salt and pepper.
To cook:
Heat enough olive oil in the pan, add potatoes and sauté, constantly stir to avoid sticking.
Fry gently until perfectly soft – don’t let them crisp or take color. Just before the end of the cooking, salt
lightly and add the onion, bellpepper and bacon, sauté for a few minutes.
Transfer the potatoes and onion to a sieve set over a bowl to cool and catch the drippings.
Stir the cooled potatoes and onion into the eggs.
Pour all but a tablespoon of the oil out of the pan, and reheat.
Tip in the egg mixture, lifting the edges to allow the uncooked egg to run underneath.
Fry gently – if the heat is too high, the base will be leathery. As soon as it begins to set, put the lid on loosely
to aid the process.
When the surface looks set, it’s time to turn it. Be brave.
Pop a plate over the top and invert the whole thing in one
movement, so the tortilla lands cooked side uppermost.
Easy.
Reheat the pan – you may need a little more oil (use the
drippings) – and slip the tortilla back in, cooked side
uppermost.
Use a spatula to build up a deep straight edge. As soon as
it begins to feel firm when you press the top with your
finger – it should remain juicy in the middle – slip it out
onto a plate and pat off the excess oil with kitchen paper.
Serve warm, quartered as a starter or cut into small
squares to serve as a tapa.

AGUIRRE, JHENNIE ROSE C.
Week 2 - GERMANY
We made this spaetzle it was similar with pasta but the difference with it was the process and it was tiny bits. I also
learned how to manage my hands by not messing up the rouladen because it was critical to ruin the chicken.
Week 3 - SPAIN
This day I have learned that Spanish cuisine is that they had such colorful foods (and also has a wide variety of ingredient
to use). I have learned that croquettas are similar with potato balls in the restaurant I’ve been to (but has different taste).
Also tortilla espanola are similar with omelettes.
Week 4 - ITALIAN
Italian cuisine is such a unique dish by itself. Also i have learned how to make tiramisu (I thought tiramisu was a japanese
dish because of its name). Also i have learned to balance my patience when it comes to cooking cacciatora.
Week 5 - FRENCH
French cuisine is such a classy dish, i always dreamt of going there and learning how to bake (because it is where france
best of). Also i have learned how to make bourride and balancing the thickness of its sauce.
Week 6 - GREEK
Greek cuisine is one of the cuisines i was waiting to experience to cook. I was the one tasked of making the moroccan
chicken and i learned that before cooking the chicken, the skin first is put on the pan. Also learned that the cous cous
should not be shaped when served.
Week 7 - AMERICAN
American cuisinie is mostly the famous ones when it comes to filipinos (but mostly their other dishes were not really
known by others) it depends to people. I have learned how to make buffalo sauce and the chicken wings. I have learned
that the oil should be pre heated first before deep frying.

Week 2 - GERMANY
In this week I’ve been assigned in bitter ballen recipe in some part it’s kind of hard because it needs to be bread crumbs
double times. But cooking time in bitter ballen needs to be checked from time to time to prevent overcooking.
Week 3 - SPAIN
In this week, I’m used in making paella since I’m cooking it in my house but there is some parts of it I need to practice it
like putting how much chicken stock needed and in the tortilla espanola recipe I know egg is fast to cook but my problem
in this recipe is how to flip it to cook the top part but in the end the egg cook well and taste well too.
Week 4 - ITALIAN
In this week while making pepperonata this taste well even it is full vegetable ingredient but the blend of every ingredient
is good and tasty, one thing to keep on eye is not to overcooked the vegetable or it will make it crunchy.
Week 5 - FRENCH
In this week cooking needs to take it slowly in this week, if we cook it faster and not patient it will take more time than
usually it does.
Week 6 – GREEK
Week 7 - AMERICAN
In this week is kind of easy because it’s marinating stuff that is need to be careful off.
In this week we carefully cooked the shrimp or it will crunchy not good thing to eat
In this week in this preparation of a whole chicken it really takes time to cook in time I mean literally we need to chill it for
many days before we actually taste it and sadly I didn’t take a taste of it.
In this week I learn how to make a Spanish chorizo it’s kind of hard but actually fun and exhausting. Importantly when
stuffing it must be carefully handle because the casing is thin and can’t be forced or it will be bloated.
