Ingredientsfor Laura Pelou 's respounchous, chicken livers and hearts

500 g respounchous (wild asparagus)
8 chicken livers
8 duck hearts
50 g bacon
2 eggs
2 tbsp. old wine vinegar
30 g butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps for Laura Pelou 's respounchous, chicken livers and hearts

Blanch the respounchous in salted water with vinegar for 2 min. Stop cooking by passing them through a glaze.
Cook the hard-boiled eggs. Brown the minced bacon in a frying pan, then add the livers and hearts until golden brown on all sides. Set the livers and hearts aside. Leave the lardons and pour in the old wine vinegar, deglazing the pan. Whip the sauce with butter.
Arrange the respounchous on plates, add the grated hard-boiled eggs, chicken livers and hearts, a turn of the pepper mill and a pinch of salt. Serve with diced hard bread fried in a knob of butter and pan-fried potatoes.
