Andalusian Asparagus (Esparragos a La Andaluza) image

I originally got this online somewhere, sorry don't remember where, and I haven't tried it yet. I imagine the best bread to use in this case would be plain white, since it ends up being ground into a paste later on. Might be a good way to use up a few bread ends or rolls in your freezer!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped into bite size lengths
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 slice bread (crusts removed and chopped into cubes)
1 pinch paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon wine vinegar
water
2 eggs (optional)

Steps:

  • Blanch the asparagus in lightly salted, boiling water, for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the garlic and bread over medium heat until golden.
  • Remove the garlic and bread to a blender and mix with the cumin, paprika, vinegar and a little water to make a paste. Start with 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and then adjust as needed until you get a paste-like consistency.
  • Reheat the frying pan, adding a little extra oil if necessary. Add in the blanched asparagus and fry for about 5 minutes, then add the paste and a little more water. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
  • This dish can be served as it is or you can add 2 beaten eggs and a little more water then leave on a low heat until the eggs are set.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some asparagus that was about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. It turned out great! The asparagus was still tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious.
