Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Start by trimming the ends of the white asparagus to remove any tough or woody parts. Rinse the asparagus under cold water to clean them thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Asparagus

    Place a pot of salted water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the white asparagus and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until tender but still slightly crisp. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Toast the Sunflower Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sunflower seeds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Egg Yolks

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  5. 5

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large serving bowl, gently combine the cooked asparagus, toasted sunflower seeds, and the egg yolk mixture. Toss gently to coat the asparagus evenly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish for garnish. Serve immediately while the asparagus is still warm.
