Serves 4
Ingredients
20 Asparagus, spears (5-6 asparagus spears per person)
½ tsp Sugar
½ tsp Salt
½ cup Mayonnaise
50 g Parmigiano cheese, grated
Directions
1. Snap off the asparagus ends or peel the last 2-3 centimetres.
2. Heat a pot of water to blanch the asparagus.
3. Add salt and sugar to the water — this helps heighten the green colour of the asparagus.
4. When water reaches a rolling boil, add the asparagus. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Drain in a sink with cold running water and ice if you have it.
6. Remove from the water when cool and drain and place on a serving plate.
7. Combine the parmigiano and mayonnaise and pour over the asparagus.
8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Lonely and Blue......
Looking for a new home
Maybe with you......
I once was black
But my outer fabric is gone
Due to the cat
And also the sun
I just need a cover
Anything you choose
Then I wont have the blues
I've been a coffee table
Bedside chair too
I even accept feet
Whatever suits you
Please take me home
Away from this basement
You won't be disappointed
Cos for you I'm heaven sent
My owners tell me
That I am free
Just pick me up
