Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 350 g Strawberries
  • 1/2 bunch Basil
  • 80 g Sugar
  • 150 ml light balsamic vinegar
  • 7-10 Tbsp salt, pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the strawberries, dab dry, clean and cut into fine cubes. Wash basil, shake dry, dab off leaves and cut into fine strips.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Wash the asparagus, cut off the woody ends. Boil up salted water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook the green asparagus for about 8 minutes.
