WHITE ASPARAGUS WITH VINCENT KLINK


Couple of weeks ago I visited Vincent Klinks famous restaurant in Stuttgart, called Wielandshoehe. He is a well known chef in Germany who likes to cook from seasonal and local products. 98% of his products are bio. It was extremly yummy. Specially I remember his white asparagus with smoked salmon. I definitely have to say this is the best asparagus I have ever eaten :).

So of course after coming home the first thing I did was to buy a lot of asparagus and trying all kind of different recipes. Nami nam nam.

Here is one of my favorite ones. Asparagus sallad with rhubarb dressing. Very fresh and springy. And easy to make. The marinad is wonderful mix of chervil, parsley and chives in orange juice.
