[Rosalia shrieks]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Hi Vogue. Welcome to Now Serving

and today I m gonna show you how I do-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

So basically, if you ask me which is my favorite dish

in the world, it s very hard for me to answer,

because I m a big-time foodie,

but I love, love-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

We re gonna need onions.

We re gonna need eggs.

We re gonna need olive oil.

We re gonna need patatas.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

If you can go to the market, better.

I m generous with the onion.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

And basically, yes, you just cut it like this.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

And now that I wear my nails shorter,

it s much easier honestly.

I gotta say that I make my life a little bit easier.

I can play the piano a little bit more. I can practice more.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

You have to caramelize the onion.

Quantity is by heart.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

If you feel like less, you put less.

What I like about cooking is that it forces you to be there.

So this is a challenge for me,

to be speaking while I do this.

Usually, I m quiet or internally

dancing salsa while I hear some salsa.

Here, I would put some music.

[Rosalia speaks Spanish]

Olive oil, again, you do by intuition.

You go crazy. You put a lot, if you feel like.

Me, I put, again, generously.

And the fire has to be-

[Rosalia speaks Spanish]

So we re gonna put even a little more.

Oh!

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia giggles]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[producer 1 speaks in Spanish] [Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[all laugh]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[producer 1 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[producer 2 speaks in Spanish]

[producer 1 speaks in Spanish] [Rosalia laughs]

[producer 2 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[producer 1 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[bottle smacks]

[Rosalia squeals]

Usually I don t drink alcohol that much.

You might,

maybe a little more, amigo?

[all laugh]

Right? But-

I do. [cork snaps]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish] [producer 2 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[producer 1 speaks in Spanish] [Rosalia grunts]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish] [producer 1 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia cheers] [producer 2 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[glasses clink]

[producer 2 speaks in Spanish]

We say-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

That means, if you don t do like this after this,

you re not gonna fuck.

Wow. So-

So direct. [Rosalia chuckles]

[producer 1 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish] [producer 2 speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Okay, so this is the consistency you want

and this is the color that you want, okay?

Me, I m a little bit of a messy cooker.

[onion skins crunch]

Yes, messy girl.

Now, the potato.

Easy, you just peel the potato.

Yeah, one potato per person maybe kind of

or maybe one and a half, if you wanna, if you hungry.

But yeah, quantity, like-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Basically, you just cut it imperfectly like this.

Wabi-sabi.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

And then I like it, because the texture is good.

It gets soft in the inside, but crunchy on the outside

and each one might be a little bit different,

which is what you want, I think,

when you are eating a tortilla.

It s good that some are more done, some are less done,

some are more crunchy, some less

and you can achieve that just by cutting them imperfectly.

Talking about potatoes,

quick lesson on how to do vermu.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

You throw it like this on the top.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

But if you don t, you put something else.

You put it like this.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Then you go like this.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

And you put this.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[chips crunch]

Also, if somebody s coming to your place to eat,

I can be looking insane,

I can be looking crazy, but most of the times,

I ll try to have a little look, a little something.

I m a diva. I have to be ready always.

And if I m cooking, yes, I love having an outfit.

Absolutely.

We re gonna fry the potatoes.

You take the olive oil.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

And then-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

All my friends, they usually worry,

when they see me driving, they see me cooking,

because I get distracted so easily.

This and that. I m messy, but it s okay.

I have it in control.

While we wait for the potatoes to be frying and everything,

we can do-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[bell dings] Yes.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Garlic, you can put garlic also.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia chuckles]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia shrieks]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

You let it be there in-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

And then you can keep drinking.

[Rosalia scoffs]

You know-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia grunts]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[egg smacks] [Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia chuckles]

[Rosalia whoops]

Cooking drama.

Okay, now we re gonna put the potatoes.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

If they are crunchy, better.

We start with this quantity.

You take-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Okay.

Kind of like this.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Something interesting is that some people do-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

With this kind of potato.

That is a possibility also.

If you just had these ones, you could do-

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Very decent with these.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

We don t want to leave it for too long,

so we wanna keep checking little by little.

I think that might be fine.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Yes. Cooking, it s an activity that I enjoy a lot.

But now don t ask me too much, cause now I need to focus.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Okay.

[Rosalia whoops]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Now we ll have to twist it.

[Rosalia giggles]

Okay, not bad, not bad.

You see?

There we go.

Now you put it again.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

You go like this. Uh-huh.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

Now you, again, do like this to, like, work on the shape

and you don t wanna leave for too long,

just so it s consistent.

Imagine we ve done all this effort for nothing.

Now you do like this.

[Rosalia grunts]

[Rosalia whispers in Spanish]

[Rosalia pants]

[plate clatters]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

This never happened to me before, okay?

But we make it work.

Kind of, kind of.

Presentation?

[Rosalia grunts]

Flavor?

Amazing.

[Rosalia giggles]

Not bad at all.

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia gasps]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia scoffs]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia grunts]

[Rosalia speaks in Spanish]

[Rosalia grunts]
