The ideal pairing of creamy starch and briny sea asparagus.
Ingredients
3 Yukon Gold potatoes
½ yellow onion
5 cloves garlic, minced
¼ white wine
1 L chicken or vegetable stock
3 Tbsp butter
¼ cup grated Parmesan
1 cup green peas
salt and pepper, to taste
5 pieces sea asparagus
1 shallot, fried in rings
cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tsp baking soda
Method
1. Dice potatoes and onions into small cubes. Lightly sweat onions and minced garlic for 4 min. Add potatoes, white wine and about one cup of stock.
