It is asparagus time in Germany, white asparagus!
I believe noone is as mad about it as us, especially in the North of the country.
For about a month, I can eat it every day, and so do my parents. And I am even not varying the recipe.
It is always the same: white asparagus with butter and parsley, and a special ham called „Katenschinken“.
Boil the esparagus with a bit of sugar and of salt in the pot. I do not use one of these tall asparagus pots but just cut off the end – hey, this is not haute cuisine nor does anyone else see it in my kitchen
Sometimes with new potatoes, but I try to not eat those every night ;).
Others add Sauce Hollandaise, and sometimes chicken breast. There are various recipes.
I live it. I love it.
