It doesn't always have to be Hollandaise: The malty spiciness of shiro miso combined with the freshness of lime takes the flavor profile of asparagus to a new level.


Ingredients (2 servings)
800	g	green asparagus
5	tablespoon(s)	olive oil
2	tablespoon(s)	light miso paste
1	teaspoon(s)	sesame oil
1	teaspoon(s)	peeled and grated ginger
		some fresh lemon zest
3	tablespoon(s)	rice vinegar
4	tablespoon(s)	juice of one lime
1	teaspoon(s)	maple syrup
		coriander leaves for the garnish (optional)
1	teaspoon(s)	toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Mix the olive oil, sesame oil, miso paste, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, lime zest and maple syrup in a bowl for the dressing.
Cut off the ends of the asparagus about 2.5 cm wide, wash the asparagus.
Whether you grill the asparagus or roast it in the oven is up to you. If you prefer to boil it, it is best to do this lying flat in a pot. To do this, fill a large pot about 5 cm high with water. When the water starts to boil, add the asparagus and cover the pot. When the water boils again, cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, sauté in a pan (approx. 5 minutes) until the asparagus is tender but al dente.

SERVING

Arrange the asparagus on the plates, drizzle with the dressing – and if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with coriander leaves.
