🍳 Spring Garlic Scramble: The Sea and the Countryside in 10 Minutes
A good scramble is the salvation of any impromptu dinner. The secret to a restaurant-quality scramble is not in the ingredients, but in not overcooking the egg. The combination of spring garlic sautéed with prawns creates an elegant and sweet flavor profile that turns simple beaten eggs into a luxury dish, totally carbohydrate-free.
🦐 Why it is exceptionally healthy
- Unbeatable Protein Duo: We combine egg protein (maximum assimilation) with the lean protein of prawns, ideal for nourishing muscle after an evening workout.
- Antibacterial Properties: Spring garlic retains the sulfur compounds of garlic (like allicin) that act as a natural antibiotic, but they are much milder on the stomach.
- Keto Dinner: Zero carbohydrates and excellent quality fats, a fantastic option to promote nighttime fat burning.
📝 Step-by-Step Preparation
- Cleaning the Spring Garlic: Take 1 bunch of tender spring garlic (about 5.3 oz / 150g). Remove the first layer, the root, and the greenest, hardest part of the stem. Cut them into pieces of about 0.8 inches (2 cm).
- The Base Sauté: In a good non-stick skillet, put 2 tsp (10ml) of EVOO over medium heat. Add the spring garlic and sweat them for about 5-6 minutes until they are soft and slightly golden.
- The Prawns: Add 5.3 oz (150g) of raw peeled prawns (if using frozen, make sure you have thawed and dried them very well with paper beforehand). Turn up the heat and sauté for just 1 minute until they change color. Add a pinch of salt.
- The Lightning Beat: In a bowl, crack 3 free-range eggs (or 2 eggs and 2 whites). Beat them lightly with a fork; we do not want a homogeneous foam, but rather to see a little of the white and the yolk.
- The Scramble: Lower the heat of the pan to a minimum. Pour the eggs over the garlic and prawns. With a silicone or wooden spatula, gently stir from the bottom up.
- The Juicy Point: Remove the pan from the heat when the egg still looks quite shiny and moist; the residual heat will finish cooking it on the plate. Serve immediately.
