  This is a typical traditional Asparagus dish in Germany/ Holland....the area between Krefeld NRW & the Dutch/German border towns. It is eaten in the months of end of April to mid June almost every day!!! Living in Portugal now we miss this dish terribly and have to go to Germany to acquire the Asparagus which tastes different to their conterpart in Spain. Only white Asparagus is used , served with Serrano ham, some cooked ham, boiled potatoes and sauce hollandaise....delicious and easy to prepare. P.s. Preboil the Asparagus scrapings and the cut-off ends with a lemon cut into pieces, dollup of butter, quite a bit of salt and water. Boil for 8/10 minutes, then add the Asparagus to the boiling water. Cook for another 8/10 minutes until Asparagus is crisp to bite.....Guten Apetit

  I made this recipy yesterday for 6 persons.....unfortunately I had to use green Asparagus ,white not available. Not at all the same, but could be used as an alternative. The orriginal is quite exceptionally tasty with white Asparagus from Gelden!!!!!!!!!!

  Fab starter! Doubled the dressing and had to use green asparagus but will look for white which will be a great excuse to make again!
