Ingredients
200g baby eels
100g diced or julienned cooked ham
3 eggs
1 clove of garlic
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Preparation
Start by slicing the garlic thinly. It's important that the slices are thin so they cook properly without burning. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the garlic and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the baby eels to the pan. Cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring gently so they absorb the garlic flavor.
Add the diced ham and mix with the baby eels. Sauté everything together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. For extra fluffiness, you can use a whisk to incorporate air.
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and gently stir with wooden chopsticks or a spatula. Cook over medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly. The ideal texture is runny and creamy.
When the scramble has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and serve it on a plate. Sprinkle with some chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
