salt Heat the water and the butter in a small pan. Add a pinch of salt. Stir in the polenta gently. Cook on a low heat, stir constantly, until the polenta has absorbed the water. Add extra water as required. Cook further until the polenta has reached porridge-like consistency. Asparagus:
3,400g green asparagus
50g butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt Peel 3,400g of green asparagus and cut into small pieces. Warm 50 grams with two tablespoons of olive oil in a small pot - add some salt and the asparagus pieces. The asparagus needs to be cooked "al dente" - that means firm to the bite, don't let it go too soft. Olive Oil Foam:
300ml milk
150ml olive oil
30g raw, peeled potatoes Add milk, olive oil, the potatoes and a pinch of salt into a pot and bring to the boil. Once the potatoes are soft, mix with a blender. Put the foam into a sauce-gun. Arrangement:
