The British Council has set a challenge for all of you – The Great Spanish Language Challenge!

As it is ‘Citizenship Week’ I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn more about the world we live in, as we are ‘Citizen’s of the World’ as well.

Complete the challenge below – how many sections or parts can you complete?

    Tortilla omelette
    Introduction
    A closer relative to the Italian frittata than a Mexican flour or corn tortilla, a Spanish tortilla is so much more than the sum of its humble parts. Potatoes are the star, but tortillas welcome variation. The tortilla makes an excellent breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or crowd-pleasing tapa. If you have a mandoline, this would be a great time to use it. If you’ve never used one, or it’s been a while, watch our video on how to use a
    Ingrediantes
    1-3/4 cups vegetable oil for frying (I use plain olive oil, but never a great extra-virgin)
    1-3/4 lb. (about 5 medium) low- to medium-starch potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, peeled
    2-1/4 tsp. coarse salt
    12 to 14 oz. onions (2 to 3 medium), diced
    5 medium cloves garlic, very coarsely chopped (optional)
    6 large eggs
    1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (optional)
    Preporation

    Step 1: In a large 15-inch paella pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pimentón and add to pan along with the chorizo. Brown the chicken and chorizo on all sides. Remove the browned meat from the pan and set aside.

    Step 2: Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until they start to soften, about 3 – 4 minutes. Add remaining pimentón and continue cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 3: Add the rice to the onion mixture and stir until the edges of the rice begin to look translucent, about 2 – 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and saffron and stir to combine.

    Step 4: Nestle the reserved chicken pieces and chorizo back and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Add your chosen seafood to the pan arranging it in a single layer and sprinkle in the peas. Continue to cook the paella until the seafood is fully cooked and the rice is tender, about 10 – 15 minutes.

    Step 5: Remove the paella from the heat and garnish with strips of piquillo peppers and chopped parsely. Serve hot and enjoy with glasses of sangria or a Spanish white wine, like Albariño. Salud!

    Step 6: eat and enjoy your food.
