Santa is a small, sturdy farmwoman from Extremadura who grows insanely delicious raspberries and blueberries, and sometimes cooks traditional meals for my friend Gabriela. This tortilla was part of a lunch she prepared when I visited. It’s essentially just a skilletful of delicate, sautéed asparagus bound with a few farm-fresh eggs. If you’d like some extra kick, you can sauté the asparagus with a handful of finely diced serrano ham or prosciutto or add some slivered mint to the cook
