For the sauce

Preparation

  1. Wash the green asparagus, cut off the tough lower ends of the stalks and cook the spears for about 4 minutes in salted boiling water. Plunge them into iced water so that they keep their intense green colour.

  2. Peel the white asparagus and remove the ends. Cook for 10 minutes in the same water used for the green asparagus; remove when they are still slightly crunchy.

  3. Wash the cherry tomatoes and spring onions and slice.

  4. Cut the cooked asparagus into pieces.

  5. Mix everything with the sauce and arrange the asparagus so that the tips of the spears point upwards.

Suggestion

The fruity freshness of Johannisberg matches asparagus from Valais perfectly.

Wine suggestion

Dôle blanche or vin rosé
