Steps for "Green asparagus

  1. Prepare the asparagus: trim and peel the asparagus, leaving a 2.5 cm collar. Mix together the coarse salt and green anise. Lay the asparagus flat in a container and cover with the aniseed salt. Leave to marinate for 45 min.
  2. Prepare the green anise crumble: combine the almond powder and flour, add the butter and mix. Place the dough on a baking sheet and bake at 185°C for 15 min. Leave to cool before use.
  3. Prepare the Chartreuse sabayon: clarify the butter and set aside. Squeeze the lime juice into a mixing bowl, add the Chartreuse and egg yolks. Cook in a bain-marie, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, finish cooking and whisk in the clarified butter. The sabayon should have a creamy texture.
  4. Finishing: pan-fry the asparagus in the semi-salted butter, turning regularly. Place 3 asparagus spears on the right-hand side of a warm dinner plate. Place 2 spoonfuls of sabayon on one side of the asparagus, and the crumble on the other. Finish with a pinch of Espelette pepper and a few fresh oregano leaves.
