    14Pour into the hot skillet and cook over low heat for 1 minute.
    15Using a plastic or wooden spoon to stir eggs, gently move the pan in a circular motion for 1-2 minutes or until the eggs begin to pff up around the edges.
    16Spoon the warm spanish sauce into the center of the eggs and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
    17Continue cooking for 1 minute, or until the bottom of the omelet is firmly set.
    18Tip the pan and use a fork to fold the omelet in half.
    19Lift the whole thing out with a spatula onto a serving dish.
    20Garnish with parsley sprig and serve at once.
    21Serve with toasted whole grain bread, warm rolls or corn bread.
