Huevos Rotos con Espárragos

Here’s one of my all-time fave dish – Huevos Rotos which literally means “Broken Eggs.” It is not the typical scrambled eggs where you beat the egg whites & yolks together before you cook it. On the contrary, this dish requires that the egg as a whole, be added after – at the very end with rest of the ingredients, just right before the consumption.

Typically here in Madrid, the eggs are broken, literally when they serve it, in front of you!

Soy Mackerel

I missed “Adobong galunggong“, a popular and favorite Filipino dish. It’s something we used to have weekly. Both words are iconic in the Philippines – adobo & the most common fish in every market – the Galunggong or Mackerel Scad. The price of galunggong is an economic gauge & a barometer to the President’s popularity rating.

The closest fish I can find here in Madrid for this recipe is the Caballa or the Atlantic Mackerel. Well, at least it is a mackerel.
