Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1 bunch of asparagus
1 Tbsp olive oil
For the mustard sauce:
2 Tbsp German or Polish mild mustard
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp honey
1 Tbsp chopped dill
Freshly ground pepper

Method

First make the mustard sauce. Mix the mustard, vinegar and honey, then add gradually and slowly the oil, while whisking it until you get a mayonnaise-like consistency. Stir in the dill and set aside.
Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus, then rub or brush them with the oil.
Heat a griddle pan and grill them for about 5 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
Transfer the asparagus to a plate and drizzle the sauce over them.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
