Ingredients for 3 - 4 servings
2 eggs
200 g flour
250 ml milk
1 pinch of salt
neutral oil for frying
1 bunch of fresh green asparagus
2 – 3 tsp garlic paste
1 tbsp wild garlic pesto
1 tsp olive oil
2 – 3 tsp light balsamic vinegar
3 – 4 cream cheese balls (burrata)
1 handful of chopped walnuts
Herbs for garnishing (optional)
How to prepare
Mix eggs, flour, milk, and salt into a smooth batter and fry in a large pan with a little neutral oil. This amount of batter yields approximately 7-8 pancakes.
Cut off the thicker, dry ends of the asparagus and fry the asparagus spears without peeling them in a little garlic paste.
For the vinaigrette, mix 1 tbsp of the wild garlic pesto with oil and vinegar.
Place the fried asparagus spears, still lukewarm, on the pancakes with a ball of burrata each, drizzle with wild garlic vinaigrette and sprinkle with chopped walnuts and herbs, if desired.
Wild garlic pesto
Place 1 handful of wild garlic leaves, 30 g of Parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp of pine nuts and 50 ml of olive oil into a high-performance blender and blend for a few seconds until the desired consistency is reached.
Asparagus paired with wild garlic is a real revelation and needs hardly any other ingredients to be considered a real taste explosion
