A delicious recipe for the asparagus season:
Cook the asparagus in salted water until tender and cut into pieces, set aside 1 and a quarter dl of asparagus stock. Briefly steam the asparagus sections in butter until soft. Dust with flour and add about 1 dl asparagus stock.
Boil the liquid to half, add the heavy cream and season with salt, cayenne pepper and juice of one lemon. Blend everything together with a hand blender and pass through a sieve.
Soak the gelatine in cold water. Beat the yolks with the remaining 1/4-dl asparagus stock in a water bath and bind the asparagus mixture with it. Squeeze the gelatine leaves well and let them melt in the warm mixture. Then stir in the butter pieces with a hand blender.
Pour the asparagus mixture into a small 500 g casserole dish lined with cling film and leave to cool overnight.
Serving:
Cut the asparagus terrine into slices and arrange on plates.
Garnish with spring salads. It goes very well with a dill sauce made of crème fraîche, cream, a little salt, asparagus stock, pepper, juice of a lemon and dill.
