Roasted green asparagus with egg vinaigrette – simple spring recipe
Green asparagus is a true spring favorite—especially when crispy pan-fried. In this recipe, aromatic garlic asparagus meets a creamy vinaigrette with egg, radishes, and herbs. The fresh combination is light, healthy, and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also ideal for using up leftover eggs or vegetables!

Ingredients for 3 - 4 servings
1 bunch of green fresh asparagus
2 tsp garlic paste
2 eggs
1 shallot
2 – 3 small gherkins
2 – 3 small radishes
1/2 handful of chives and parsley
1 – 2 tsp dill tips
50 ml natural yogurt
salt and pepper
1 dash of light, mild vinegar
How to prepare
The green asparagus does not need to be peeled, but the lower, woody ends should be trimmed.
Now you can fry the asparagus with the garlic paste in a large pan, turning frequently. This takes about 10 minutes. Green asparagus has thinner stalks than white asparagus and therefore cooks faster.
Now place the eggs in boiling water for about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the shallot and finely chop the cucumber, radish, shallot, and herbs.
The yogurt is seasoned with salt, pepper and a dash of white vinegar.
Once the eggs are hard-boiled, they are briefly cooled and also cut into small pieces.
Loosely mixed with the remaining ingredients, the egg salad later garnishes the garlic asparagus on the plate.
Good to know
If an egg accidentally cracks open during cooking, it will quickly spill into the boiling water. This can be prevented by adding a little vinegar to the boiling water. The vinegar accelerates the coagulation of the egg white, causing the egg to essentially reseal itself.
