Valladolid Homestay: Jan. 16: La cocina de María José (x 2) by Amy G.


Today was a great day in Valladolid!  After getting to sleep in a bit, we met up at the local Civic Center for a typical Spanish cooking class!  After a delicious breakfast, provided by the two teachers, both María José, we got to cooking.  First, we chopped different veggies and chorizo for the base of the lentil soup.  It smelled great!  After a few cans of lentils were added, it simmered while we started on the tortilla, thick egg omelette with potatoes.  This dish proved to be more difficult, especially the process of flipping it manually.  After evaluating the data, I would guess we had about a 60-75% success rate in this arena.  Though it took hours, the lunch was delicious and filling, as Spanish "almuerzo" should be.  It was great to get together while experiencing Spanish culinary culture in the process.
