Ingredients

Steps

  • Cut asparagus and lamb into bite-size pieces.
  • Boil asparagus for about two minutes. Boil lamb until just cooked through, about two minutes.
  • Mix asparagus and lamb in a small non-stick skillet, about 9-10". Add coriander and black pepper to taste, around 1-4 - 1/2 tsp each.
  • Crack eggs, and mix with a fork. Add more coriander and black pepper to taste, around 1/4 - 1/2 tsp each.
  • Cover skillet and put over medium-low heat. Cook until eggs are set and slightly browned, 10-15 minutes.

Notes

Making this a second time (a few weeks later, at Camelot) showed that you either need a good non-stick skillet for this, or you should oil the skillet fairly heavily before putting everything in.
This comes out a bit thin in a 12" skillet. Would be worth trying in a 10".
Won't scale easily to a large group, but easy for a single table, and probably feasible for a small feast.
This is a "tortilla" in the Spanish sense, AKA a Spanish Omelette.
