Note, according to Chef Juan Jose, there are really only two classic egg dishes, from which all other modern ones spring (fritatta, omelet, etc). The dish presented, here, the Spanish tortilla is in the more traditional form. That which North and South America has come to know as a tortilla was merely the Spañiards naming what they saw natives doing with ground up corn and lard after a similar pan shaped traditional Spanish dish, the tortilla after which all resemblance pretty much ends as the traditional Spanish tortilla is eggs, potatoes and onion, a dish that saw the nation through its civil war and goes back many centuries.
