Now putting asparagus and raspberries together would
never have occurred to me until I saw it in a recipe book. Not only do the colours look pretty the taste
works too!
Ingredients:
Thin asparagus spears
2 tblsp vinegar (preferable raspberry)
½ tsp salt
1 tsp of mustard (preferable Dijon)
1 ½ tblsp vegetable oil
½ tblsp sour cream
White pepper
Fresh raspberries
Method:
Trim your asparagus and then tie it into a bundle with
a bit of string.
Boil for about 2 minutes (you might need longer if your
asparagus is not really thin)
Pull the asparagus bundle out and plop it into some
cold water.
Then pat it dry and pop it into the fridge to chill
for at least 1 hour.
Make your dressing – mix the vinegar, salt and mustard
first. Then add the oil slowly while stirring.
Last add the sour cream and pepper to taste.
After that its just an assembly job. Asparagus on plate. Drizzle dressing over and pop raspberries
around the place.
Sounds good actually, and pretty festive. Merry Christmas!
