Unfortunately, asparagus is a little-known product to Bulgarians, which is also extremely useful. They are known for their richness of vitamins and minerals, but are especially suitable for pregnant women because they are among the most folic acid-rich vegetables.

A study conducted among Bulgarians shows that in fact our people do not consume asparagus simply because they do not know how to prepare them. That is why here we have selected a tried and tested recipe, which is the work not of anyone, but of the famous culinary fakir Jacques Pepin:

Necessary products for asparagus: 560 g asparagus, 2 eggs, 3 tsp. salted water, 1 tbsp finely chopped green onions

Necessary products for the sauce: 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp. mayonnaise, 2 tbsp. water, 1 tbsp wine vinegar, freshly ground black pepper to taste

How to prepare asparagus: Wash the eggs thoroughly and boil them for about 10 minutes. Pour the water in which they are boiling and shake their pot hard enough so that the eggshells break. Add ice and let them cool for 20 minutes.

It's best to leave them for longer, but since this recipe is part of Jacques Pepin's so-called fast food, you're supposed to be in a hurry.

When the eggs are ready, cut them with a cutter lengthwise and then widthwise to make egg cubes. Set them aside and peel the lower third of the asparagus. Bring the water to a boil and cook the asparagus for about 5 minutes.

Be careful not to cook them for too long, because they will become very soft and lose the desired texture. Remove the asparagus, drain and arrange in a suitable container in the form of a fan.

Next is the preparation of the sauce.

You need to mix all the listed ingredients for them in a bowl and mix them well. In order for your efforts to have not only a culinary, but also an aesthetic taste, it is good to try to pour the sauce on the asparagus so that it covers only the lower third of the stalks. Sprinkle with eggs and chives on top and you are ready to serve your creation.
