EPISODE 1 - EASTER
The first episode brings a touch of spring to the plate – it is dedicated to Easter holidays and the seasonal ingredients that define this time of year.
Wild garlic, wild asparagus and goat cheese omelette
1 bunch of fresh wild asparagus
1 bunch of fresh wild garlic
3 pcs of green garlic, chopped into rings
3 pcs of green onion, chopped into rings
12 eggs
extra virgin olive oil
250 g of fresh goat cheese
Lemon zest
Salt and freshly grounded pepper
Preheat the oven at 200°C
Briefly boil the asparagus in salted boiling water, just until they turn green. Strain and cool them in icy water and cut into smaller pieces, about 2 cm. Mix the wild garlic and two eggs into a puree, then mix in with the asparagus, remaining eggs, goat cheese and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper. Pour into a pan with heated olive oil and let the omelette thicken on the bottom. Move the pan into the oven and bake for about six minutes, until it thickens on the top.
Flip the omelette from the pan onto a plate, slice and serve.
