Spanish recipes

Basic ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • a few slices of serrano ham or bacon
  • 4 fresh green asparagus
  • 100g peas
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • olive oil
  • salt

Steps:

1. Finely slice the garlic cloves and fry in 2 tbsp olive oil in a strong earthenware casserole dish

2. Cut the ham into cubes and add to the casserole dish - sauté for 5 mins over a low heat

3. Wash the asparagus pieces and remove any rough ends leaving only the tender shoots - cut these into pieces about 3 cms long and add to the casserole dish - sauté for a further 5 mins - season with salt

4. Add the peas to the casserole dish cover with a little water and simmer until the peas are almost cooked (5 mins or a little longer if using frozen peas)

5. Finally break the eggs whole into the casserole dish and leave over the heat until the eggs are cooked


Tips and Ideas:

  • The eggs can be fried separately and then placed on top of the peas and ham before serving to cut down on cooking time
