Spargel-Antipasti mit Lachs (White Asparagus and Smoked Salmon) Recipe

  • 10 ounces white asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • salt to taste
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon
  • 3 tablespoons corn oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese
  • coarsely ground black pepper to taste
  1. Peel asparagus spears from top to bottom with a vegetable peeler, starting below the tips. Cut off woody ends with a knife.
  2. Place asparagus spears in a large, wide saucepan and pour in enough lightly salted water to just cover. Bring water to a boil; add butter, sugar, and salt. Reduce heat; simmer until spears are tender and easily pierced with a knife, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain.
  3. Divide smoked salmon between 2 serving plates. Place asparagus spears on top.
  4. Warm oil and parsley in a small saucepan over low heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  5. Drizzle oil over asparagus. Grate Parmesan cheese on top using a cheese grater or shave into strips using a vegetable peeler. Season with pepper.
