Wash the strawberries, dab dry, clean and cut into fine cubes. Wash basil, shake dry, dab off leaves and cut into fine strips.
Caramelise the sugar in a pan over medium heat until light. Add vinegar, bring to the boil and simmer for about 3 minutes until the caramel has dissolved. Heat up the strawberries briefly. Stir in basil and season to taste with a little salt and pepper. Serve hot or cold. Roast lamb or beef steak is delicious with it.
As a main course, calculate 500 g asparagus per person. For an appetizer, about 200 g asparagus is sufficient - but then cut the ingredients for the sauce in half.
Wash the asparagus, cut off the woody ends. Boil up salted water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook the green asparagus for about 8 minutes.
