Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 500 g white asparagus (preferably purple, for a color contrast)
- 400 g pork tenderloin (or beef, depending on preference)
- 1 roll (to add a hint of sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar (to enhance the flavor of the asparagus)
- Olive oil, for frying
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Optional: 50 g grated Parmesan or feta cheese, for extra flavor

Preparation method:

1. Start by preparing the asparagus. Cut about 1-2 cm from the ends and lightly peel it. This step is essential as it removes the woody part, leaving only the tender stalks.

2. In a pot of boiling water, add a pinch of salt, sugar, and the roll broken into pieces. These ingredients will help flavor the water, and the roll will add a sweet note and pleasant taste to the asparagus. Cook the asparagus for 6-8 minutes until tender but still slightly crunchy.

3. Meanwhile, prepare the tenderloin. Slice it thinly and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. A useful trick is to let the tenderloin reach room temperature before cooking for even cooking.

4. In a heated skillet, add a little olive oil and fry the tenderloin over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden. It is important not to overcrowd the pan to achieve even browning.

5. Once the asparagus is cooked, drain it and place it in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. This step helps maintain the vibrant color and crunchy texture.

6. Prepare a simple sauce from olive oil, the juice of one lemon, and a little salt. You can also add fresh herbs like basil or dill for a touch of freshness.

7. Finally, arrange some slices of crispy tenderloin on a plate alongside the white asparagus. Drizzle everything with the prepared sauce and optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan or feta cheese on top.

Serving suggestion: This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of dry white wine, which will perfectly complement the delicate flavors of the asparagus and the intensity of the tenderloin.

Variations: You can try substituting the tenderloin with chicken or fish, thus adapting the recipe to everyone's dietary preferences. Also, you can experiment with different sauces, such as a mustard sauce or yogurt sauce with dill.

This recipe for white asparagus with crispy tenderloin is not only a simple and quick dish but also a way to bring a touch of elegance and refinement to the table. Enjoy every bite and cherish the moments spent around the table with your loved ones!

I had purple-white asparagus. I cut about 1-2 cm off the ends and cleaned them. I boiled them with a pinch of salt, sugar, and a white roll. They are tested with a fork while boiling. They should not be too soft or bend too much. After boiling, they are drained, the roll is removed, brushed with a little oil, and kept covered. Sauce: Mix cold milk well with the egg yolks, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (optional). Heat the butter. Add the flour and stir; when it starts to puff, extinguish it with the milk prepared earlier, and mix well. I forgot the pepper; I didn’t add nutmeg. Once it starts boiling, it thickens and bubbles for 2-3 short bursts, then remove from heat and keep covered. Meat: All ingredients, except for the meat, are mixed and placed in a large bag. Add the sliced meat. Keep the bag closed and shake until the meat is coated on all sides. (While doing this, heat sunflower oil.) Add the meat and fry it well on both sides. This way, we obtain a tasty and crispy crust. Serve hot. Enjoy your meal! Recipe for White Asparagus with Crispy Fillet and Sauce was suggested by MAYA on the recipe forum.
