Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

warm asparagus and strawberry salad (light summer food)

Peel the asparagus (green asparagus doesn’t need to be peeled) and cut the stalks into 3 to 4 cm long pieces. Caramelize the sugar with the butter in a non-stick pan, then add the asparagus until cooked through. It should be soft but still have a bit of bite. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped chili. Add the hulled and halved strawberries and the vanilla bean pulp and toss briefly in the pan. Toast the bread, butter it, and sprinkle it with salt. Served with salted, buttered toast, this makes a great summer main course.
