Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 250 g asparagus, green
  • 1 tbsp tarragon, fresh, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chives, fresh, chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp cream
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 50 ml orange juice
  • 1 dashes lemon juice
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 12 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 32 minutes

Cut off the bottom part of the asparagus stem and peel the stalks a little at the bottom if necessary. Wash the asparagus and boil in enough salted water to cover them. Cooking time is about 15 minutes, until the asparagus is the desired firmness. Keep the asparagus warm, for example, in the oven. Also keep 200 ml of the asparagus stock warm. Sauté the flour in butter, then add the stock a spoonful at a time while stirring vigorously. Add the cream, yogurt, orange juice and lemon juice and simmer everything. Season the sauce with herbs, salt and pepper or lemon juice and serve with the asparagus spears.
