Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound fresh asparagus spears
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ounce Pecorino Romano cheese
⅓ cup plain dried bread crumbs
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of well salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Trim off up to 1 inch of the woody bottom parts of the asparagus. Cut asparagus in half if necessary to fit your pot.
  • Transfer asparagus to the boiling water. Boil until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a bowl of very cold water using a slotted spoon. Let asparagus cool completely.
  • Grate Pecorino Romano cheese finely using a rasp grater.
  • Drain asparagus well and slice into very small pieces. Place in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add cayenne pepper, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and bread crumbs. Mix in 1 egg to start. Add the second egg and continue mixing until well combined.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop some of the asparagus mixture into the hot oil; flatten with a fork. Cook until bottom is browned, about 4 minutes. Flip over and brown the other side, about 4 minutes more.
