Brown the minced pork in a pan with salt, pepper, marjoram, caraway, onion, garlic, egg, and breadcrumbs, then chop it up and place it in a casserole dish. Cook the asparagus in water with a pinch each of salt and sugar and a little butter until al dente. Wash, trim/peel, and finely chop the vegetables listed above and fry them in a pan with a little oil. Then wash, dry, and roughly chop the wild herbs and vegetables. Now I layer the browned minced pork in the casserole dish, followed by the sautéed vegetables, and top with the cooked asparagus. I scatter the wild herbs and vegetables over the asparagus, then take a few tablespoons of the cooking water and thicken it with the cream cheese, then pour it over the vegetables. Finally, I slice the soft cheese and distribute it over the vegetables. I also pour the salt layer from the soft cheese over the vegetables. Now I place the casserole dish in the oven at approximately 220°C for half an hour and bake everything. Then it’s ready to serve.
