Peel the asparagus, cut off the woody ends briefly. Bring the peelings to the boil briefly in 1/2 litre salted water and leave to stand for about 30 minutes. Drain and collect the stock. Cook asparagus in stock for 15-20 minutes. For the cream sauce, roast almond flakes in a pan without fat until golden brown, take out 1 tablespoon. Add 1 tablespoon of fat to the remaining almonds and heat up. Fry the flour in it. Deglaze with 3/8 litres of asparagus stock and bring to the boil while stirring. Season to taste with salt, pepper and orange juice. Whisk cream and egg yolk and stir into the sauce. Do not let it boil any more! Serve sprinkled with remaining almond flakes. For the butter sauce, clean, wash and slice the mushrooms. Wash and chop the herbs. Heat 1 tablespoon of fat and fry the mushrooms over high heat, turning them over. Season with salt and pepper. Melt the remaining fat in it and add the herbs. Serve asparagus, ham and sauces garnished with orange wheels
