Did you know that in Cyprus there are many fresh herbs, roots and vegetables served in local restaurants which have been picked in the nature?

One you can enjoy now is the Cyprus wild asparagus or ‘Agrelia’ as it known here.

These baby wild asparagus are a real delicacy, they grow in the wild and are hand picked. They can be cooked in various ways and the most traditional way these are prepared and served is with eggs ‘Agrelia me avga’ .

Here is how to prepare them if you are lucky enough to find them in the nature:

Fry the asparagus (use only the upper half of the asparagus which is the soft part) lightly in olive oil for about 10 minutes until soft. Break an egg directly into the pan and stir continuosly until it mixes well with the asparagus. Allow to cook on low heat for a further 5 minutes stiring occasionally. Add seasoning and serve while hot.

Bon appetit! Kali Orexi!
