Do you like Asparagus as I do?
Asparagus has been used from early times as a vegetable and medicine.The asparagus is difficult for growing up, and it is considered one of delicacies of the vegetable world, with intensive taste and the high price. Asparagus is low in calories, contains no fat or cholesterol, and is very low in sodium. It is a good source of folic acid, potassium, dietary fiber and rutin.There is about 100 kinds of an asparagus, among them a French asparagus of violet color, English and American – green. The Spanish and Danish asparagus white as it is grown up underground and is cut off more often as soon as arrows appear over the earth.

Traditional way of cooking asparaguses – to put a bunch in a high pan and to cook in several centimeters of water. However, the special pan for this purpose is required. I prefer the more simple way – quickly to boil in salty boiling water and to wash out in flowing cold water. Thus the asparagus remains crackling.
In water the asparagus cooks 3-5 minutes, and steaming – 4-5 minutes.
Serve it with Dutch sauce. As this is one of the best sauces ever made for asparagus.
I’ll give you one of recipes.
The egg yolks ( 2 big eggs ) must be beaten thoroughly first with salt and pepper .
After that boil 1 desert spoon of lemon juice and 1 desert spoon of vinegar. Let it cool.
Then add the liquid to the well-beaten eggs , also with 4 ounces ( at about 100 gr) of good butter . Set the stew – pan on a very slow fire , and stir the liquid until it is about as thick as cream , immediately remove it . Now add 2 beaten whites of eggs stir all well with the whisk .
