Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the asparagus

  • Peel the green asparagus and cook them in salted water (25 g of coarse salt per litre) until they are tender and a little firm.
  • Remove the tips at about 5 cm and reserve them in about 250 g of iced water.
  • Cook the tails again until they become very soft. Once cooked, mix them in a blender with the vegetable stock and the gelatin, previously soaked in very cold water.

Step 2: Rest

  • Let the preparation cool for 3 hours in the fridge.

Step 3: Seasoning and preparation of poached egg

  • Add the whipped cream and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Drain and cut the asparagus tips diagonally, season.
  • Poach the eggs for 5 minutes and 15 seconds in simmering water.
  • Peel them and keep them cool.

Assembly and finishing:

  • Arrange in a glass with the creamy mixture at the bottom, then the soft-boiled egg and finally cover everything with the green asparagus tips at an angle.

The Chef's words

This dish celebrates the finesse of green asparagus, worked to reveal all its delicacy. The creamy asparagus, melting and subtle, harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of a poached egg, while the crunchy tips bring a contrasting texture. Each layer in a verrine is designed to offer a complete taste experience, where freshness and smoothness meet. A tribute to the simplicity and elegance of seasonal flavors.
