The asparagus season is here ! What better than lightly poached with lashings of melted butter - low in virtually everything but extremely scrummy !
 
I love asparagus as well, in fact I'm having some for dinner this evening.

One of my favourite breakfasts is slender asparagus stalks dipped in a soft boiled egg instead of buttered soldiers. I also like it in crustless quiche. :)
 
Right now they're so tender I've been eating them raw as a snack. I keep them in water in a canning jar and they last a long time in the fridge. I love asparagus any which way
 
White Asparagus is really nice.

Cook in a little water with a huge knob of butter and a lot of lemon juice

Sorry Chook, but you have just turned me off with that mix.

I cannot tolerate soft boiled eggs after being served one that did not spend a great deal of time in boiling water, runny yolks yes, runny whites is a definite no no.

Oh definitely smothered. ....... imagine my excitement when I found out I could eat it with LCHF.
And I'm only 5 mins away from a yummy blender version. ;)

Looks at clock..... breakfast is only 8 hours away. Yep I will try that!!![/QUOTE
Easy blender hollandaise
1 stick unsalted butter
2 egg yolks
1 T fresh squeezed orange juice and some zest
Salt and cayenne to taste (1/8 t cayenne)
Melt butter. Pulse yolks juice, zest and slices in blender
SLOWLY drizzle butter into blender with blender running. Blend until consistency is like lightly whipped cream

Serve immediately. Excellent on asp, salmon, chicken and jus twitch a spoon lol.

If you try it let me know how it goes! I think it can be refrigerated and then reheated or you can make half batch of course

Love em too, i get them from a farm a mile away, freshly picked. Gout sufferers beware - they are high in purines
