My partner went foraging for wild asparagus in the woods and found a lot! So for a few days, I've been sharing recipes using this versatile wild vegetable, and I still have enough left for another recipe or two.

Steps

30 min.

1

Peel the potatoes, wash them, and slice them thinly. Set aside in a bowl.
2

Peel the onion and slice it thinly (julienne style).
3

Pour 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a skillet. Place the skillet over heat and let it warm up. Add the sliced onion, sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt, and stir occasionally until it starts to change color.
4

Add the thinly sliced potatoes and continue stirring occasionally.
5

While the potatoes are cooking, trim the tough ends off the wild asparagus and break them into pieces.
6

When the potatoes are almost tender, add the asparagus pieces. Stir often and cook for about 10 more minutes.
7

Transfer the potatoes and asparagus to a bowl. If there is excess oil, remove it. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork along with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked potatoes and asparagus. Mix well.
8

Heat a medium nonstick skillet and lightly grease it with a little oil. Pour in the potato and egg mixture and cook over medium heat on one side. Flip the tortilla onto a plate, then slide it back into the skillet to finish cooking. When the tortilla is golden on both sides, slide it onto a plate. Serve warm. Enjoy!
