  • 100 ml white wine organic

  • 1 pinch of ground turmeric organic
  • 2 pinches of Kala Namak organic

asparagus

Instructions

Hollandaise

  • Soak the cashew nuts in 400ml boiling water and add the vegetable stock powder. Alternatively, you can also infuse the cashews directly into hot vegetable broth. Soak at least for 10 minutes, I even soaked them for 2-3 hours.
  • Put the cashews with 200ml, the soaking liquid and the plantbased cream into a mixer. Blend well until everything is homogeneous. The cream should already have a foamy consistency.
  • Peel the onion and chop finely. Bring to the boil in a pan with white wine, vinegar, bay leaf and parsley. Let it boil until the liquid is reduced to about 2-3 tablespoons. Strain through a sieve to remove solids.
  • Return the reduced liquid to the pan and add the frothy cashew-cream-brew mixture. Heat to low temperature and let simmer.
  • Add turmeric and Kala Namak. Add vegan margarine and stir until melted. Flavour with white pepper. If you like, add salt. Keep the sauce warm.

asparagus

  • Rinse asparagus and peel if necessary (if very woody & fibrous). Cut off the woody ends.
  • Bring water to the boil in a saucepan. Add salt, sugar and asparagus and cook until done (about 10-15 minutes). Cook the asparagus heads only in steam as they cook faster.
  • Serve asparagus immediately and drizzle hollandaise over it.
