Lemon and Garden Herb Asparagus
These bright, fragrant and delightfully buttery Lemon and Garden Herb Asparagus make a delicious May Day lunch! Have a good one!
Ingredients (serves 2):
about 2 dozens green asparagus, rinsed
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon
3 fluffy sprigs Garden Chervil
a small bunch Garden Chives
half a dozen leaves fresh mint
a pinch of fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
Chervil Hollandaise Sauce, warmed, to serve
Trim the bottoms of the asparagus.
Bring a large, deep pan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in coarse salt, and add the asparagus. Cook, 5 minutes.
Once cooked, immediately plunge the asparagus in a bowl of ice water, to stop cooking. Drain thoroughly.
In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over a medium flame. Once the butter is just foaming, grate in the zest of the whole lemon. Cook, 1 minute.
Finely chop Chervil, Chives and mint, and add half of the chopped herbs to the pan. Cook, 1 minute more.
Add asparagus to the pan, shaking gently to coat them in herbs and butter. Cook, shaking often, about 5 to 7 minutes until just browning. Sprinkle with fleur de sel. Add remaining chopped Chervil, Chives and mint, and toss, to coat.
Serve Lemon and Garden Herb Asparagus immediately, with warm Chervil Hollandaise Sauce, buttered Sourdough toasts and chilled dry white wine, like a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Zum Apéro: Spargel mit Parmesan im Prosciutto-Mantel #Airfryer
#Airfryer #Pancetta #Parmesan #Spargel #Apéro #Fingerfood
Da sich die Markgräflerin inzwischen einen Airfryer (Heissluftfritteuse) angeschafft hat, wird auch so einiges ausprobiert, was früher im Backofen oder in der Pfanne zubereitet wurde. Ich bin begeistert, wie gut das funktioniert – das reicht von TK-Pommes über Bärlauchbutterbaguette bis zu raffinierten Häppchen, die fettarm zubereitet werden und trotzdem knusprig und lecker sind. Zum Apéro habe…

First decent harvests this year! Asparagus is coming out every single day so I am eating it constantly. I also have some swiss chard, green onions and young garlic. I've been harvesting leek for a while as well! It didn't make it into the pictures.

This week's farm box has a theme, and it's "what on earth am I going to do with all these greens?"
I have spinach, kale, asparagus, zucchini, mint, radishes (with their greens), something called mizuna, and lettuce. (I still have lettuce left from last week.)
I'm planning to make creamed spinach, so that's one down.
My next idea is Some Kind of Pasta Thing with the zucchini, asparagus, and as much of the other greens as I can reasonably cram in, but I haven't quite figured out the details on that one.
And I'm still going to have kale, mizuna, and radish greens left after that. I'm thinking saute them, but I need some way to make it interesting.
And, of course, salad. Lettuce and radish salad, with one carrot I have left from last week, and IDK what else.
The mint, if I don't have any better ideas, I can just hang up it up to dry and then put it in teabags.
I have some very exciting cheeses this week, though!
Cheddar, colby, and the Red Cat is apparently the specialty of a local dairy.
