Asparagus in herb oil
1 bunch of white asparagus
1 bunch of green asparagus
a pinch of salt
Herbal oil:
1 lemon peel
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 pot chives
1/2 pot dill
1/2 pot spring onions
1/2 teaspoon running honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons canola oil
a pinch of salt
For decoration:
sun – dried tomatoes, sliced
100 g of hazelnuts
rucola shoots
1. Prepare the herb sauce. Put all the ingredients for the herb sauce in a high narrow bowl and puree with a stick blender.
2. Roast the hazelnuts in a dry pan for garnish. When cooled slightly, rotate the hazelnuts between your hands so that most of the shells come off. Grind the hazelnuts a little with a knife.
3. Click off the hard woody base of the asparagus. Peel white asparagus. Boil the asparagus in well-salted, boiling water so that they remain crumbly, do not cook until soft. White asparagus matures in about 4 to 10 minutes and green asparagus in about 2 to 4 minutes.
4. Lift the asparagus out of the boiling water and drain for a moment on kitchen paper. Season with a pinch of salt. Serve asparagus with herb sauce, sliced sun-dried tomatoes and hazelnuts. Garnish with arugula shoots.
