Roll of “Twentse Nagelhout” and marinated asparagus with a fresh herb salad

PICTURE INGREDIENTS

Ingredients for the salad and asparagus: 8 pieces of asparagus 1 tbsp mace powder 200 grams thin sliced ‘Twents

Nagelhout’ 250 grams mix of soft types of

lettuce and green flavours A pinch of salt

Ingredients for the marinade: 10 ml white wine vinegar 30 ml olive oil 1 tsp yellow mustard 1 tbsp chopped parsley 20 gr caster sugar (white) A pinch of salt

STEP BY STEP

Nº EXPLANATION

1 Peel the asparagus twice with a peeler. Start at the top of the asparagus and work your way down. Chop two centimetres of the end of the asparagus.

2 Boil the asparagus in about 3 minutes in boiled water with a pinch of salt and the mace powder.

23

24

3 Put the fire out and let them cool down. Drain the asparagus in a tea towel.

4

In the meantime you can prepare the marinade. Put everything (except for the olive oil) in a bowl. Beat the mixture with a whisk and slowly add the olive oil. It will become thicker and if the olive oil is absorbed, your marinade is finished.

5

When the asparagus have cooled down you put them in the marinade. The flavour will be the best when leaving them to marinate overnight. But a few hours will do as well. Do not throw away the marinade!

6

Put 4 to 6 pieces of nagelhout imbricated in a square. The square has to be as long as the asparagus (without the top). The tops should stick out the from the square. Gently roll the asparagus in the nagelhout so it becomes a tight roll. Repeat it for the second roll.

24

25

7

Cut the rolls in the middle. Put them on a square plate with the ends towards each other. You have to put the herb salad in the middle. You can use the marinade to flavour the herb salad. You could add bread croutons or cherry tomatoes to decorate the herb salad.

Shortbread can be made with as

few as three ingredients: butter,

flour and sugar.

Cut up the butter and place it

back in the refrigerator until

needed.

2 With a wire whisk, mix together

the flour and the sugar.

3

Add the cold cut pieces of butter.

The butter mixed into the

flour/sugar mixture should like

this, like peas.

For shortbread recipes that have

additional ingredients like

chocolate chips, nuts and so on,

stir them in at this step.

6

Dump the mixed shortbread

pastry ingredients into a lightly

greased pan. To lightly grease a

pan, I use cooking spray and then

wipe it out.

7

As I wanted to make two types of

shortbread at a time, I divided

the pastry into 2 parts. I then

added the chocolate chips to one

half.

Use your hands to press the

pastry into the pan.

Bake for 350 degrees F. for 25 to

30 minutes.

The shortbread should be slightly

brown on top when removed from
