- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (3g)

- Fresh basil (5g)

PREPARATION:

Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus and chop them into pieces. Peel and finely dice the onion, garlic, and potato. Heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic. Then add the potatoes and asparagus and fry for a few minutes. Pour water over everything and cook covered for about 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Blend everything into a smooth cream, add lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Poached egg:

Boil water in a wide pot and add vinegar. Reduce the heat so that the water is hot but not boiling. Crack an egg into a small bowl and, creating a whirlpool in the water, gently pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 3 minutes.

Pistachio pesto:

Blend all ingredients until smooth. You can add more water to achieve a better consistency.
