Ingredients
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 400g asparagus, trimmed, cut into thirds, thicker ends halved lengthways
- 400g baby new potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 bunches salad onions, sliced, green ends finely chopped
- 8 British Blacktail Free Range Large Eggs
- ¼ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves finely chopped
- 8 pitted green olives, finely chopped
- ½ unwaxed lemon, zest and 1 tsp juice
- Dressed green salad, to serve (optional)
Method
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick 24cm frying pan. Add the asparagus, season and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, tossing often, until just tender and charring. Remove to a plate.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in the pan over a mediumhigh heat. Add the potatoes and sliced salad onions, then cook for 10 minutes turning regularly, until tender and golden. Return the asparagus to the pan.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then season and pour into the pan. Cover with a lid or baking sheet and cook over a medium heat for 12-15 minutes until the tortilla is almost set, with a little softness in the centre.
Using a fork, whisk together the reserved salad onion tops, parsley, olives, lemon zest and juice and remaining 2 tbsp oil to make the salsa, then season. Invert the tortilla (see tips) and cook the other side for a few minutes to set the top. Serve warm or cold, with the salsa drizzled over and a dressed green salad, if liked.
Cook’s tip
Inverting tortillas in the pan to set the top is the traditional way of finishing them. Position a plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Slide it back into the pan to finish. If you’re not confident, set the surface under the grill for a couple of minutes.
Try the tortilla canapé-style if sharing with friends. Cut into small squares topped with goat’s cheese, then serve with the salsa.
