Asparagus recipe tip
A tip I got from my parents to modify the traditional German (Westphalian?) asparagus recipe of boiled white asparagus and potatoes with melted butter or sauce hollandaise on top: The potatoes and asparagus taste at least as good if instead of the butter or sauce you sprinkle some olive oil on top and add a generous amount of freshly ground parmesan cheese.
(An especially good alternative if one happens to have forgotten to buy boilded ham and it happens to be a public holiday and all the shops are closed - the parmesan adds so much aroma that we didn't even miss the ham.)

My roomie grew up with having a side of scrambled eggs and fresh tomatoes so she insists on those when we cook the traditional version. Purists of course insist that the only thing you ever need are the asparagus and potatoes, anyway.
I had asparagus so often the last two weeks, I'm thinking we'll get more adventurous next and make the delicious quiche I found on chefkoch.de.

Heresy indeed! It's the one vegetable that everybody I know here just loves. It's my favorite veggie so I make good use of the short season.
Fried liver, ugh...
