Ingredients
 
 

  • Glass bowl of olive oil isolated on white background2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin for a richer taste
  • Ripe yellow onion on a white background1 medium onion - finely chopped
  • garlic4 cloves garlic - minced
  • Raw meat mince½ pound ground beef (minced beef) - preferably grass-fed
  • chicken egg5 large eggs - free-range for best flavor
  • Black olives½ cup black olives - pitted and sliced
  • wooden bowl of salt1 teaspoon salt - to taste
  • Ground black pepper pile, paths, top½ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
  • parsley on white background1 tablespoon parsley - chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent and aromatic.
  • Add the beef mince to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined.
  • Add the sliced olives and cooked beef mixture to the bowl, mixing gently to combine all ingredients.
  • Pour the mixture back into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly runny.
  • To finish, carefully transfer the skillet to a preheated oven set to 180°C (350°F) and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is fully set and lightly golden.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the egg mixture. This adds a layer of depth and aroma reminiscent of traditional Spanish dishes.
