Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 4 deep-frozen pretzel blanks (à approx. 94 g)
  • 16 White asparagus spears
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 TEASPOON Sugar
  • 1/2 bunch Dill
  • 100 g medium hot mustard
  • 50 g liquid honey
  • 300 g smoked salmon in slices
  • 7-10 Tbsp Lemon wedges
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the pretzels on a baking tray lined with baking paper and allow to defrost for about 1 hour. Wash and peel the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Boil up about 2 litres of water with salt and sugar in a larger pot. Add the asparagus and simmer at low heat for 6-7 minutes. Wash the dill, dab dry and, except for something to garnish, pluck flags from the stems.

  2. 2

    Mix mustard, dill and honey with a whisk. Remove the asparagus and rinse thoroughly in cold water. Dab asparagus dry. Separate the pretzels into one strand each. First cut the strands of dough in half crosswise, then lengthwise. Press thick ends flat. Wrap the strands of dough around the asparagus from bottom to top, starting with the thicker end, so that the tips and ends are still visible. Sprinkle the finished asparagus spears with the enclosed pretzel salt and press on a little. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 5-7 minutes.
