LIDIA'S ASPARAGUS FRITTATA

By BobD

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 pound wild or very thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
• 1/4 pound scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 5 eggs.

Preparation

Step 1

Put oil in 8- or 10-inch skillet over medium heat; when oil is hot, add asparagus and scallions, with some salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus are tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper. Stir them into asparagus and cook, stirring nearly constantly, until eggs form soft curds. Taste and adjust seasoning.
