🧂 Ingrediënten

- 100 g Ajetes (young garlic shoots)
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- pinch Freshly ground black pepper
👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the salt. Whisk gently with a fork until the yolks and whites are just combined, but do not over-whisk. You want to avoid incorporating too much air, which can make the eggs tough.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
Sauté the ajetes: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat (around 175°C / 350°F). Add the prepared ajetes. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly softened, releasing their delicate garlicky aroma. Be careful not to brown them too much.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 3
Add the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed ajetes in the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the bottom layer to start setting.
⏱️ 30 seconds - 4
Scramble gently: Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this gentle folding and stirring motion. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still appear moist and creamy. Avoid constant vigorous stirring, which can break the curds too finely.
⏱️ 2-3 minutes - 5
Serve immediately: Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs reach your desired doneness, as they will continue to cook from residual heat. Serve the revuelto immediately on warm plates. Garnish with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

💡 Pro Tips
- ✓The key to a perfect revuelto is to cook the eggs gently and remove them from the heat while they are still slightly underdone and creamy. They will finish cooking off the heat.
- ✓Ajetes are the tender shoots of wild garlic, typically available in spring. If you cannot find ajetes, you can substitute with the white and light green parts of young leeks or scallions, sliced thinly.
- ✓Serve with crusty bread to soak up any delicious juices.
