====Best recipe review====

''Great when local asparagus is out''

4.6/5 

June, up here in Norfolk, every other stall has fresh asparagus for sale. This is a great way top use it.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 400 g fresh green [[Asparagus|asparagus]] spears, trimmed and cut into 2.5 cm pieces
| 8 tablespoons [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 350 g [[Potatoes|potatoes]], peeled and cut into smallish [[Dice|dice]]
| [[Salt]]
| 1 medium [[Onion|onion]], thinly sliced
| [[Garlic]] to taste, finely [[Diced|diced]]
| 100 g fresh [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]]
| 8 [[Eggs|eggs]], beaten
| 2 tablespoons chopped [[Parsley|parsley]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| [[Boil]] the [[Asparagus|asparagus]] for 5 minutes until just tender.
| Drain, plunge into cold water and drain again.
| Meanwhile, heat the [[Oil|oil]] to medium in a large-ish [[Frying pan|frying pan]].
| Add the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] and [[Salt|salt]] to taste.
| Cook for about 10 minutes, turning regularly so that they do not [[Brown|brown]].
| Add the [[Onion|onion]] and [[Garlic|garlic]] and cook for a further 5 minutes.
| Stir in the [[Asparagus|asparagus]] and [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]] and sauté for 3 minutes.
| Remove from the heat and drain off any excess [[Oil|oil]], reserving 1-2 tablespoons of the oil.
| Mix the [[Eggs|eggs]], [[Parsley|parsley]] and a little more [[Salt|salt]] in a bowl.
| Pour the [[Asparagus|asparagus]] and [[Potato|potato]] mixture into the same bowl.
| Wipe the [[Frying pan|frying pan]] with [[Kitchen towel|kitchen towel]] and return it to the heat with the reserved [[Oil|oil]].
| Pour the [[Egg|egg]] mixture into the pan and spread it evenly without stirring.
| Cook for about 3 minutes until the [[Tortilla|tortilla]] is nearly set.
| Flip the [[Tortilla|tortilla]] face downwards onto a plate and slide it back into the [[Frying pan|frying pan]] so that the other side will cook.
| Keep the pan on the heat for a further couple of minutes, by which time the [[Tortilla|tortilla]] should be ready.
| Cut into [[Wedges|wedges]] and serve warm (not hot).
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Salad|salad]] and [[Bread|bread]] or as a [[Tapa|tapa]] with some [[Olives|olives]].
===Variations===
As asparagus has such a short season in the UK, you only have a few options if you want to make this at any time of the year. Never having eaten tinned asparagus, I neither recommend nor decry it. However I have eaten the white [[Asparagus#Espárrago de Navarra|Espárrago de Navarra]] which is available throughout the year in jars. It tends to be much thicker than English asparagus so may need to be sliced, rather than cut into lengths. It has an excellent flavour, although any resulting tortilla would not be as colourful as those made with the green variety.
