Method
- Plunge the asparagus into boiling salted water, bring back to the boil then cook for 2-3 minutes, drain then plunge into ice water.
- In a non-stick pan fry the sliced courgettes in the butter then add the garlic and cook over a medium heat for around 6-7 minutes until almost sticky.
- Parboil the potatoes and cut in to cubes, then add the potatoes and the onion to the pan and cook until softened.
- Place the asparagus into the pan then add the seasoned beaten eggs. When the eggs have just set around the edges, transfer to a pre-heated oven set at 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6 for around 6-8 minutes.
- When cooked turn out onto a plate. Cut the tortilla into slices then serve with some dressed salad leaves.
