White asparagus is the gold of the spring here in Germany.
This year it is very expensive, because the seasonal workers from eastern Europe have problems to come. Many farmers try to harvest with German workers, who all can not work or study due to the lockdown. They do not have the knowledge or the stamina of the seasoned helpers.
I bought very fine stalks of asparagus. That is easy to prepare, they need no peeling.
Just cut off the 5 mm of the ends and wash the stalks.
Use an oven proof dish and lay out the stalks in one direction. Season with salt and pepper.
Grate a large clove of garlic over the asparagus.
Drizzle some olive oil over.
Now a very good amount of grated Cheddar cheese.
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
Bake it for 20 minutes.
If you have leftovers, take a veggie stock and a bit of semolina and toss the asparagus in small chunks in.
