Cuisine: Spanish
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup asparagus, chopped
- 100g salami, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the asparagus thoroughly and chopping it into 1-inch pieces. Slice the salami into thin, bite-sized strips.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become tender but still maintain a slight crunch.
- Add the sliced salami to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the salami to release its oils and become slightly crisp.
- Crack the eggs directly into the skillet with the asparagus and salami. Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs, mixing them with the vegetables and meat.
- Continue cooking the eggs, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes until they are softly scrambled but not completely dry.
- Season the revuelto with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, ensuring even distribution of seasoning.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the revuelto to warm serving plates immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The key to an exceptional revuelto is using the freshest asparagus and high-quality salami. Look for bright green, firm asparagus and artisanal salami for the best flavor.
- Control Your Heat: Medium heat is crucial. Too high, and you'll burn the ingredients; too low, and you'll lose that perfect texture.
- Don't Overcook the Eggs: The magic of revuelto lies in softly scrambled eggs. Remove from heat when they're still slightly wet for a creamy, luxurious texture.
- Season Strategically: Add salt and pepper gradually and taste as you go. The salami will already bring some saltiness to the dish.
- Serve Immediately: Revuelto is best enjoyed hot, straight from the pan. Delay, and you risk dry, rubbery eggs.
- Optional Flavor Boosters: Consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a dash of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra flavor dimension.
