Ingredients

500 gr White asparagus about 12 pieces
50 gr butter
3 tbl spoon olive oil
3 tbl spoon parsley fresh flat-leaf parsley
salt and pepper

Instructions

Peel the white asparagus with a vegetable peeler (or asparagus peeler if you have one). (You start about 2-3 cm below the top and go down. Do this carefully. With a vegetable peeler I go around the asparagus twice to make sure that no stringy skin remains.) Cut off the hard bottom. Usually this is max. 3 cm.
Preheat your oven to 200º.
Chop the parsley. Put the butter, olive oil and parsley in a saucepan and heat on a low heat until the butter has melted. Season with salt and black pepper from the mill.
Arrange the peeled asparagus side by side on baking paper. (I take an oven dish, put the baking paper on it and the asparagus on top. Cover them with the parsley butter and wrap the baking paper closed according to a papillot.
(front and back together, fold down a few times and then turn the ends around firmly)
Place in a preheated oven at 180º for 25 minutes.
NB! I like the asparagus al dente. Some may prefer to cook them a little more, so leave them longer in the oven for a maximum of 10 minutes. Or do the prick test after 25 minutes and decide what you like.
Serve warm and scoop the released liquid over the asparagus with a spoon. Enjoy!
