Product Information

hi everyone! this is my first comic on tapastic, so... excuse any silly errors i've made while uploading it. i'm a bit unsure about the file size... the images might be a bit too big? who knOWS This potato omelet is one of the most popular dishes in Spain, and it also happens to be vegetarian! Thankfully, as times change, it's getting easier to find vegan- and vegetarian-friendly eateries in Spain. And of course, many of the traditional dishes Spaniards know and love are meat-free or even entirely plant-based ( vegano).

This popular Spanish dish is a winning combination of local asparagus and eggs prepared a variety of ways. I personally like it with a poached egg, but it can also be made with a baked egg or even shredded hard-boiled eggs (pictured). Asparagus with hard-boiled egg and capers. Photo credit: esimpraim 5.
