Asparagus à la Flamande


Due to a post Dedene did, I'm giving her and you guys a recipe for a change.
Asparagus are vegetables that - if well prepared - are a feast for your senses.
Hope I will do a translation on the recipe that makes Jamie Oliver jealous ....:-)

You would need (for 4 pers):
24 large asparagus
4 hard boiled eggs
parsley (1/2 a bouquet)
150g of non salty butter
pepper/salt
freshly grated nutmeg

Peel the asparagus and break off the 'woody' end. Boil them significantly 'al dente' in salted water. Peel the eggs and crush them with a fork. Cut the parsley fine and mix with the eggs and season with nutmeg, pepper and salt.
Let the butter melt and use a spoon to top the white layer off (the butter). Pour the clarified butter to the eggs and mix well. Arrange the asparagus on the plates and gently pour the parsley and eggs mix over the asparagus (as seen in the picture)...

Enjoy !
