Interesting facts about revueltos
- Revueltos are not your usual scrambled eggs. If the common recipe calls for the majority of your dish being eggs and only a small portion of it being other ingredients of your choice, you have to interchange your ratio to make Revueltos.
- To make good revueltos, the key is to have good eggs to start with.
- A nice Revuelto dish needs gentle hands and consistently medium heat when cooking it.
Revueltos (Spanish-Style Scrambled Eggs)
If I'm craving something fresh and filling, I cook scrambled eggs with asparagus and ham.
Asparagus is one of the many vegetables that are low in calories but high in nutrients.
They are rich in antioxidants, making them a great addition to my diet. When appropriate, I add a handful of asparagus to the dishes I prepare!
Although it's optional, the great flavor the ham gives the dish is well worth it.
I like the earthiness that mushrooms contribute to the flavor profile of many dishes. When I want something bold in taste, I opt for scrambled eggs with mushrooms and Jamon.
You would not want to eat scrambled eggs that are watered down, right?
In order for your dish not to be watery, you must cook the mushrooms thoroughly first until most of the moisture evaporates.
Be generous with the garlic as you cook it together with the Jamon!
This is my go-to revuelto to cook when I want something easy but special.
Adding fresh shrimp to my scrambled eggs, along with zucchini and onions, makes for a great dish that is sure to impress anyone.
To make Spanish-style scrambled eggs with shrimp, be sure to get seafood from the freshest source that is conveniently available.
4. Revuelto de Gambas al Ajillo
What is better than fresh prawns on your revuelto?
Garlic prawns!
Garlic makes your scrambled eggs with prawns tastier. Add in butter and sherry to the equation, and you just made a tapas favorite into an even more delectable meal.
Upon serving, pair your revuelto de gambas al ajillo with a glass of white wine along with some toasted bread.
