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!

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • fresh asparagus1 lb
  • olive oil2 tablespoons
  • garlic cloves2
  • slice bread1
  • paprika1 pinch
  • cumin1⁄2 teaspoon
  • wine vinegar1 teaspoon
  • water
  • eggs2

    (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Blanch the asparagus in lightly salted, boiling water, for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the garlic and bread over medium heat until golden.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.
