Background

Steamed or grilled asparagus dipped in egg yolk is a classic combo. In this version the asparagus is served with chopped hard-boiled egg, so it’s ideal for those who don’t like runny egg yolk. Also, it can be taken to a picnic or in your lunchbox to work. It’s lovely and easy dish for breakfast/brunch, particularly on special days such as Mother’s day or Easter Sunday.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 bunch (green) asparagus
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp capers
Salt&pepper

Instructions

Put the eggs in pan. Add enough cold water to cover them then bring to the boil over medium high heat. Put the lid on, turn off the heat, then rest for 8 minutes. Drain, let the eggs cool in a pan of cold water.
When the eggs have cooled completely, peel & grate them, using a coarse cheese grater.
Snap off the hard ends of the asparagus then blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes (alternatively steam them over boiling water for 3-5 minutes).
Drain the asparagus, place them in a serving bowl or onto plates. Drizzle with oil, then season with salt & pepper. Scatter the grated eggs and capers over the asparagus.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
