Anleitungen

  • Preheat oven to 220° Celsius (430°F).  Wash the potatoes and cut them unpeeled into cubes. Mix the potato cubes with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika powder, 1 small tsp cumin, a dash of salt and a tsp herbes of Provence. Next add 2-3 tbsp of breadcrumbs.
  • Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes at 430°F till golden brown and crispy. Turn them half way. In addition, I slice a lemon and roast the lemon slices alongside the potatoes on the same baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile bring a big pan of water to a boil. Add 1 tbsp cane sugar, a dash of salt and 1 tsp of lemon juice.
  • Peel the asparagus and cut the hard ends.
    Spargel schälen und harte Enden abschneiden.
  • As soon as the water boils, add asparagus and let the stalks cook for about 12-15 minutes 8up to the thickness of the stalks). The asparagus should be supple, but not slushy.
  • Melt 30 g of margarine in a pan. Add 2/3 cups breadcrumbs and roast the golden brown. Lightly season the roasted breadcrumbs with salt.
  • Melt 25 g additional margarine in a pan. Wash and chop some parsley.
  • Place the cooked asparagus on two plates, add potatoes and roasted lemon slices. Coat asparagus with breadcrums, drizzle with melted margerine and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
Tip: Start the recipe by preparing the potatoes as you can keep them warm in the oven till you serve them while asparagus should always be served right after cooking.
