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