Simon Wright cooks up a veggie treat with this asparagus dish, Flemish style on Come Dine With Me Macclesfield

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 20 spears thick asparagus, trimmed
  • 6 hard-boiled free-range eggs, peeled and finely mashed with a fork
  • 200g butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 small bunch finely chopped flat leaf parsley, leaves finely chopped
  • Good pinch finely grated nutmeg
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch ground white pepper
  • Large sprig flat leaf parsley, to garnish

Method: How to make asparagus à la Flamande

1. Peel the ends of the asparagus 2-3cm up the stalk. Cook the asparagus in salted water for 4-5 minutes until tender without being too soft.

2. Place a small pan over a medium heat and add the eggs, 185g of the butter, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir over for a few minutes until the sauce comes together, adding a few drops of water if necessary.

3. Drain the asparagus and toss in the remaining butter to glaze. Arrange on a large, warm serving platter. Spoon the egg sauce over the lower end of the spears. Garnish with the parsley sprig. Serve immediately.
