ROMANIA: POLENTA WITH CHEESE

This is a traditional Romanian dish, delicious and easy to prepare.

For 4-6 servings you need:

400 g cornmeal

1 l water

½ teaspoon salt

250 g cheese

50 g butter

150 ml sour cream

2 eggs

Boil the water and salt in a pot. When the water is boiling, gradually add corn meal while stirring the mixture with a whisk.
Stop adding corn meal when the mixture is considerably thick, though still liquid.

Continue to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, with caution as the mixture bubbles up and splatters hot polenta around, until the polenta thickens.

Remove from the heat.

Grease a heat resistant dish with butter, place half of the polenta in, add the cheese (sliced or grated) and then put the rest of the polenta.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the sour cream and then pour over the polenta.

Place in the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, until golden.

SPAIN: Our 1st recipe

Easy quick recipe for Spanish omelette
(Tortilla Española)

A delicious potato omelette which can be served as a tapas, warm, cold with salad....
Ingredients (for 3 people):
4 eggs
1/2 kilo potatoes
Olive oil (one glass, or 1/4 litre)
Salt
Steps:

1: Wash and cut the potatoes into thin slices. Heat the oil in the pan, and add the potatoes and salt. Fry, stirring occasionally. Tip: If you prefer the potatoes to be soft, use a spatula to mash them as they are frying. As soon as they are a golden colour, remove from the pan and put the potato mixture either in a sieve or on kitchen paper, so that as much oil as possible drains away or is absorbed.

2: Beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt, and add to the potatoes. Mix well.

3: Put two small spoonfuls of olive oil in the frying pan, so that the bottom of the pan is covered with a thin layer of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the potato and egg mixture. Tip: shake the pan gently as you move the mixture, so that none sticks to the bottom. Once the omelette seems to be cooked, use the lid of the frying pan (or a large plate) to tip the omelette out of the pan, add a little more oil and slide the omelette in again, this time putting the less cooked side first into the pan. If you need to repeat this step, so that the omelette is perfectly cooked and golden on both sides, you may do so. This omelette is delicious hot or cold.

Use quality ingredients:
Olive oil: This page may also help you to decide: Aceitedeoliva.com.
Use good-quality potatoes

Other versions:
Spanish omelette with onion and potato: the process is the same. All you have to do is cut two onions into thin slices, and add them to the oil just after adding the potatoes.
Spanish omelette with almost anything: other ingredients Spaniards sometimes use in their omlette recipies include ham, cheese, mushrooms, artichokes, spinach, chorizo...

Enjoy your meal !!!

Bon Appétit!!!
