Are you looking forward to the asparagus season?
Instead of serving the asparagus in the classic way with hollandaise sauce and potatoes, cook this delicious stew!
It's almost that time again.
But what does soon mean?
It's already on display in supermarkets.
We are talking about
asparagus
*.
The harvest from Germany has not yet come, but from Greece.
It should still be a little too cold for our local crops.
But it doesn't matter.
The
anticipation for the asparagus season
increases day by day.
And in view of the currently mostly cold weather, today we want to devote ourselves to a rather strong asparagus variant ...
Put asparagus in a stew?
Yes, it works.
And also very well!
Granted, it's a little unusual.
But in the cold weather it is an ideal way to enjoy the "light" asparagus and still recharge your batteries.
Especially since there are still tasty boiled
ham and potatoes
in the dish
.

Thanks to this unusual tip, asparagus stays fresh for a long time.
Asparagus stew: use white or green asparagus?
This is jacket like pants, which means: no matter what.
The one you get and the one you like, grab it.
In this recipe,
white and green asparagus
have even
been used mixed.
In theory, after preparation, you can still pick the one that tastes better from the pot.
The only question is whether the blackheads at the table like it so much ...
Is it not going to be a dry matter?
No way!
On the contrary, the result will be very creamy!
Take a look at the featured picture!
How does that work?
Totally simple: flour, water and white wine (if children eat, please replace the wine with vegetable broth) ensure a very
creamy consistency
.
And finally, the crème fraîche also does its part to ensure that everything tastes, as the saying goes, "round".
Side dishes and other ideas for asparagus
Side dishes?
In all honesty: you don't need it here.
You can save yourself the baguette because potatoes are included.
And a salad?
No, although I recommend it many times, I really want to
focus
on the
asparagus
in this dish
.
If this dish doesn't appeal to you, but you still want to pull off a really warming asparagus act in spring: how about an asparagus casserole with ham?
Baked with cheese, of course ...
Also delicious:
asparagus rolls with ham wrapped in a batter - quick finger food.
