Directions

1
Wash the asparagus. Peel the white asparagus. Cut the woody ends off the whole asparagus generously. Cut the asparagus diagonally into pieces. Cook the white asparagus in boiling salted water with 1 tsp. sugar for 10-12 minutes until al dente.
2
Add the green asparagus after about 5 minutes of cooking time and cook. Drain the asparagus and let it cool down.
3
Halve the nuts lengthwise. Peel and finely dice onions. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Fry the nuts lightly. Add the onions and fry them. Sprinkle 1 tbsp. sugar over them and caramelise slightly while stirring constantly.
4
Deglaze with 150 ml vinegar, bring to the boil and simmer at low heat for about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and let it cool down.
5
Select the salad mix, wash and drain well. Mix 4 tablespoons vinegar, salt, pepper and 1 pinch of sugar. Fold in 2 tablespoons of oil. Wash the chervil, shake dry and pluck off the leaves.
6
Mix asparagus, salad mix and vinaigrette and serve. Crumble the goat's cheese over it, add the caramelized onions and sprinkle with chervil. Baguette tastes good with it.
