Asparagus Tortilla
Ingredients
- Eggs - 4 large
- Asparagus - 400 g, thin, green
- Fresh garlic - 4 cloves
- Salt - to taste
- Olive oil - about 110 ml
Recipe
-
Rinse the asparagus thoroughly under running water and snap off the tough ends.
-
Cut them into large pieces, about 2-2.5 cm each.
-
Peel the fresh garlic and chop it into pieces of similar size.
-
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan with a diameter of 18-20 cm over medium heat and add the vegetables. Cook them for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should soften but not brown.
-
Drain well and reserve the fat; we'll use part of it, so don't discard it entirely—the olive oil has absorbed the flavors of the garlic and asparagus and can be a wonderful addition to another dish.
-
Let the vegetables cool, then beat the eggs in a deep bowl. Use size L or XL eggs; if yours are smaller, use 5 or even 6.
-
Add the asparagus and garlic to the eggs, mix well, and season with salt to taste.
-
Place the same frying pan over low to medium heat with a little of the reserved fat and pour in the mixture, leveling it into a pancake shape. Cook for about 5 minutes, lifting it with a thin spatula to control how cooked the tortilla is.
-
When one side is done, flip it over. You can do this by placing a larger plate over the pan and flipping the tortilla onto it, then carefully sliding it back into the pan (if it's still runny in the middle, don't worry, just act quickly to prevent the egg from spreading too much).
-
Increase the heat slightly and cook for another 2 minutes.
