The wrong omelette

Ok, ok, it was supposed to be an omelette but it didn't go according to plan. Still, one of the best non-omelettes I had in my entire life.

Pitty that it was too dark to take a decent picture, even with flash... Mmmm, I'll have to cook it again some other time.

Ingredients:
- green asparagus & pumkin flowers (both fresh from the Finca Tres Peñas stall in the Tahiche market)
- onion 
- garlic
- eggs
- oil (in this case I used my own juniper infused olive oil)
- salt & pepper

Instructions:
wash and chop all the veggies
pan fry them in oil
add the garlic crushed or finely chopped
beat the egg
add the fried veggies to the egg and mix well
put it back in the pan, adding a bit of oil if required
if it doesn't stick, try it in omelette form
if it doest, just keep mixing until it takes a "scrambled" texture & it doesn't burn

You can eat it on its own or on toast or with rice.
