Easy White Asparagus Flemish Style Recipe. We always looking forward to the white asparagus season in Belgium. True, you can get them more or less all year around. But the best asparagus are harvested in April, May and June.
Steps to make Belgian asparagus:
- Peal of the skin from the asparagus using a thin-slicer. Make sure all the fibres are gone because you don't wanna get those in your dish, they'll ruin your appitite
- Melt a large lump of good butter (no margarine) in a large frying-pan on a low fire and make sure it doesn't turn brown.
- Put in the asparagus, season with salt and pepper and let simmer on a low fire until done (check with a sharp kitchenknife, if it goes through easily they're done).
- Tip : never cook or steam your asparagus because they'll lose half of their flavour !
- Cut up your spring-onions.
- Cut up thin slices of the smoked ham (I prefer pancetta, pata negra but you can really use any type of ham).
- Bring water to the boil for the eggs (without shell) and poche them for about one minute. they don't need longer so make sure you do this last. I always put them in while everything else has already been dressed on the plate.
- Dress everything nicely on a plate and don't forget to cover everything with the butter you used for the asparagus because it's loaded with flavours.
If you ask us of course. Prices can differ quite a lot, and that has almost always to do with the weather. The topping is rather like a rich, lemony egg salad and goes well with the asparagus. It is only grown in specific regions in Belgium due to soil quality requirements and sold mainly within the country. This prevents the asparagus turning green and results in a taste a little sweeter and much tenderer than the green asparagus.
