Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 24 White asparagus spears
  • 1 kg Potatoes
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • 4 Stem(s) Petersile
  • 1 collar Chives
  • 1 (250 ml) bottle "cooking with finesse" (you may; 7 % fat, the light alternative to cream)
  • 3-4 Tsp Cornstarch
  • 250 ml low-fat milk
  • 25 g Half-fat margarine
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated nutmeg
  • 24 discs Pepper salami (you may)

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash and peel the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Wash, peel and chop the potatoes and cook in salted water for about 20 minutes. Boil up about 1 litre of water (the asparagus should be just covered), some salt and sugar in a wide pot and cook the asparagus in it for 15-18 minutes.

  2. 2

    Wash the herbs and dab dry. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Cut approx. 8 chives into fine rolls. Remove asparagus from the water and keep warm. Bring 200 ml asparagus stock and 200 ml "cooking with finesse" to the boil.

  3. 3

    Stir 50 ml "cooking with finesse" and starch until smooth, stir into the sauce and bring to the boil again. Heat milk and margarine, drain potatoes, mash with a potato masher. Stir in the milk bit by bit.

  4. 4

    Season to taste with salt and nutmeg. Add herbs to the sauce and season with salt, nutmeg and pepper. Wrap 2 asparagus spears in 2 slices of salami each and tie them together with a chive stalk.

  5. 5

    Put 3 asparagus packs on 1 plate, pour sauce over each and garnish with chives. Serve with mashed potatoes.
