fresh, healthy food during asparagus season
You don’t need to peel the fresh, green asparagus; just wash it. Trim the ends if they’re slightly woody. Bring the boiling water to a boil and add salt, pepper, sugar, butter, and lemon juice. Add the asparagus whole and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, but until it’s still firm to the bite. Let the asparagus cool slightly, then wrap it in 1-2 slices of bacon. Cut the puff pastry lengthwise into 1-2 cm thick strips and wrap these around the asparagus as well. Brush the stalks with egg yolk and bake on a baking sheet lined with baking paper in the oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes. Serve as a side dish with mashed potatoes with chickpea purée and herbs (e.g., wild garlic) and green asparagus pesto. The pesto recipe can be found here in the database: http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/3341961496594954/Gruenes-Spargelpesto.html You can garnish it with herbs of your choice. You can also use white or blanched asparagus instead of green asparagus.
