Saute the finely chopped garlic with a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan or earthenware dish. Once the garlic begins to soften, add a good handful of chopped parsley, Peas and cover with the water from cooking the Asparagus. Cook for 7-8 minutes until Peas are tender.
Meanwhile in a frying pan with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, fry the Asparagus tips until lightly browned.
Serve atop the green sauce with Peas and accompanied by the Asparagus sprouts.
You can also add a kokotxas to this dish, or a fillet of cod, hake or monkfish. Serve with a poached egg in the same sauce.
Asparagus can have a certain bitter, metallic aftertaste. This can be balanced by lemon and sauces. We suggest a full-bodied red wine.
Our guest chefs bring you their unique and personal take on food.
