January 2004 recipe

Creamed asparagus with orange juice

We have to clean half kilo of asparagus cutting away the hard white ends and boil them for about ten minutes in salted water. Now we strain them saving up the water. We cut the green tops putting them aside, the rest will be cut in small pieces.

Let’s melt gr 50 of butter in a saucepan, add gr 40 of sieved flour, let cook it for some seconds stirring continuously, then pour slowly the water in which you boiled the asparagus and continue in stirring.

We have to add the little pieces of asparagus, let cook for other five minutes then whirl every things with a mixer, adding two yolks, two dl of white wine nad blend two spoons of natural yoghurt.

Serve it warm, adding at the last minute the juice of half orange, a little of nutmeg and the cut tops of asparagus.

If the orange is a biological one. you can grate on it its peel.

Enjoy your soup!
