Spanish Asparagus Revuelto image

In Spain, wild asparagus is very popular, and it's a sure sign of spring. Because the variety of wild asparagus there can be a slightly bitter, cooks blanch it in boiling water before sautéing in olive oil. (In North America, both wild and cultivated asparagus are sweet, so this step is unnecessary here.) This dish features typical Spanish ingredients - garlic, chorizo and bread crumbs - incorporated into soft scrambled eggs, for a hearty breakfast, or a simple lunch or first course.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Olive oil
2 peeled garlic cloves, plus 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups bread cubes, made with day-old bread, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
Salt and pepper
2 ounces diced Spanish chorizo
1 bunch thin asparagus, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut in 1- to 2-inch lengths
1 bunch green onions, chopped
8 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon pimentón
2 tablespoons roughly chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add peeled garlic cloves and let them sizzle until lightly browned, then remove. Add bread cubes, season with salt and pepper, lower heat to medium and gently fry until lightly browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove bread and set aside to cool.
  • Add chorizo and fry lightly. Add asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until cooked through but firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Add green onions and minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Season eggs with salt, pepper and pimentón. Pour into pan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, just until soft and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley and serve immediately, topped with the fried bread cubes.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less olive oil. The asparagus was also a bit too salty, so I would recommend using less salt as well.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more pimentón or paprika. The asparagus was also a bit overcooked, so I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus, but this dish changed my mind. The eggs and cheese mellowed out the asparagus's bitterness, and the pimentón added a nice touch of spice. I'll definitely be making this again.
