Spargel with Sauce Hollandaise

Asparagus is the white gold of the Germans – or so they say. One thing is for sure: when the season comes, this delicious summer dish must not be missed! Here is our recipe with potatoes and hollandaise sauce for you.

Preparation:

1. Peel the asparagus.

2. Peel the potatoes, cut them into pieces and cook them for about 20 minutes in boiling salted water.

3. Bring a pot with salted water, a pinch of sugar and 1 teaspoon of butter to a boil and cook the asparagus in it for about 12 minutes until firm to the bite.

4. In the meantime, heat water for the hollandaise sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Make sure that the water does not boil, otherwise the sauce will curdle!

5. Place a metal bowl up to ¾ deep in the water and whisk the egg yolks and wine in the bowl until creamy.

6. Stir in the remaining butter one piece at a time and season the sauce with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt and pepper.

7. Drain the potatoes, remove the asparagus, and serve it all with some fresh parsley sprinkled on top.
