Poached asparagus is a delicious side dish typical of Italian cuisine. The asparagus is cooked whole, wrapped in a soft egg poach. They are then seasoned with melted butter and chopped parsley to add a touch of freshness. A simple and tasty way to accompany your main dishes.
Clean the asparagus and wash them thoroughly
Fill a pot with water, add plenty of salt, and bring to a boil, then add the asparagus and let them cook for about 20 minutes over moderate heat
Meanwhile, prepare the poached eggs: fill a small pot with water, add half a glass of white wine vinegar, and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a minimum
Break one egg at a time and gently slide it into the boiling water
Using two spoons, quickly gather the egg white around the yolk, cover the pot, and let the egg cook for 3-4 minutes
After this time, drain the egg with a slotted spoon and keep it warm while you cook the others
Gently melt the butter in a pan, add the well-drained boiled asparagus, and let them absorb the flavor over moderate heat for 5 minutes
Then transfer the vegetables to a serving dish, place the poached eggs next to them, and sprinkle everything with a tablespoon of chopped parsley
