  • Main course

Ingredients

Mornay Sauce
500 g milk
25 g flour
25 g butter
25 g full cream
50 g «Der scharfe Maxx»
Asparagus
1 kg white asparagus
Herb Salad
various herbs (e.g. chervil, tarragon, dill)
a little lemon zest and juice
olive oil
salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Mornay Sauce

    Stir the flour and butter into a roux.

    Add the hot milk. This will make a béchamel sauce.

    Let the béchamel simmer for 15 minutes, then pour it into a blender and add the cream.

    Mix in 50 grams of grated «Der scharfe Maxx».

    Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Tip: A dash of lemon juice makes the sauce a little lighter.

  2. Asparagus

    Peel the asparagus and cook/blanch in salted water for 4 minutes. Marinate the blanched asparagus in olive oil and grill lightly.

  3. Herb Salad

    Take various herbs (e.g., chervil, tarragon, dill), pluck the leaves, and place them in a bowl. Add some lemon zest and juice, then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Final touches: Arrange the asparagus on a plate and pour the sauce over it. Grate more «Der scharfe Maxx» over the dish and garnish with a little herb salad.
