it’s asparagus season again! and those who grow their asparagus themselves know that it starts slowly. this means that the first harvests of the season are not always enough for the big asparagus feast. the better, if there are also recipes where you can manage with only a few asparagus spears, like this one.

even better, if the season starts right away with a bang. i think the collection of asparagus recipes is the biggest section of this blog. it means, i think nothing can surprise us anymore. nothing we haven’t tasted yet. and yet, this shakshuka version has a surprise in store.

an old more famous one is there – the egg. but the bear’s garlic gives a delicious spice and the paprika butter and the yogurt with sumac give the special kick.

absolutely recommendable! delicious and super fast on the table. found at little ferraro kitchen.

for 2:
10 bears garlic
5 green asparagus
bunch of parsley
4 eggs
1 tbsp butter
oil

herbed yoghurt:
1/2 cup greek yoghurt
1/2 tsp sumac
zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepper
olive oil

spiced butter:
3 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

start with the herbed yoghurt and mix all the ingredients. set aside.

for the paprika butter, mix the smoked paprika and butter and set aside.

wash the bears garlic and remove stalks. wash the asparagus and peel the lower parts.

heat the butter in a large frying pan and add the oil. add asparagus und bears garlic, cook for 3 minutes until the bears garlic begins to melt. add the parsley and toss gently.

make some wells for the eggs and crack one egg in each well. cook until the white is set but the yolk still liquid.

top with yoghurt and butter and enjoy with some piece of white bread.
