Andalusian Asparagus Esparragos A La Andaluza

I originally got this online somewhere, sorry don't remember where, and i haven't tried it yet. i imagine the best bread to use in this case would be plain white, since it ends up being ground into a paste later on. might be a good way to use up a few bread ends or rolls in your freezer!!

Steps

Blanch the asparagus in lightly salted , boiling water , for 2 minutes.
Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the garlic and bread over medium heat until golden.
Remove the garlic and bread to a blender and mix with the cumin , paprika , vinegar and a little water to make a paste.
Start with 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and then adjust as needed until you get a paste-like consistency.
Reheat the frying pan , adding a little extra oil if necessary.
Add in the blanched asparagus and fry for about 5 minutes , then add the paste and a little more water.
Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
This dish can be served as it is or you can add 2 beaten eggs and a little more water then leave on a low heat until the eggs are set.
