Recipe

I can be a puritan, especially when it comes to hummus. Must with tahina, decorated with za’atar, paprika or cumin.
But for an asparagus menu I like to use the free space. And so it came to be that I made asparagus hummus. Delicious, the lightness and taste of the asparagus and the always ‘down-to-earth effect’ of the tahina. Love it. And with that, this is a great variation on the hummus theme that I can fully support.

I was never much of a soup maker, but in recent years I have become an avid soup maker. Soup can be so delicious. So warming, so surprising, so comfort food. You know onion soup, but this is a great Arabic variation.

We know asparagus from traditional preparations. In our restaurant we also prepare them in the Middle Eastern way. In this case with a delicious spicy lima bean puree and a fresh crunchy hazelnut pesto. The asparagus is still deliciously crispy but cooked through, straight out of the oven. Sensational, nothing less.

This is not ‘an easy does it’ soup. It keeps you busy. And as it should be, you will be generously rewarded for that. It is a delicious soup. The orange subtly surprises you. The substance is delicious. It looks amazing. In short, go make that soup. Do not hesitate.
