Notes
In the ingredients I stated, that I used green asparagus for this dish. This might be confusing for my US readers, because I believe that white asparagus is not something that's common in the United States, whereas in Germany green asparagus is only slowly on the rise. I don't really like white asparagus, to be honest, it tastes too sweet and bitter for me, so you will probably just find the green variety here on my blog.
