White asparagus with poached egg

We propose an alternative to the typical Flemish asparagus recipe, similar but more healthy than the classic recipe. Here, no need for butter, it is the egg yolk that gives the dish its creaminess!

Ingredients (for 4 persons)

  • 4 Columbus eggs
  • 1 kg of white asparagus
  • 10 cl of white vinegar
  • A few lettuce leaves

Preparation

  • Carefully peel the asparagus and cook it in a large volume of boiling water for 10 minutes.
  • Fill a saucepan with a good amount of unsalted water. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil. Break an egg into a ramekin. Create a whirlpool in the pan. There should be no more boiling. Carefully pour the egg into the center of the swirl and continue swirling with a skimmer. Repeat for each egg.
  • Decorate the plates with a lettuce leaf and serve.
