🇧🇪 Belgium recipe
Flemish Asparagus
When white asparagus season arrives in late April, all of Belgium celebrates. Asperges op Vlaamse wijze, or Flemish-style asparagus, is the most classic preparation: pristine fat spears of white asparagus are peeled and gently boiled, then served warm with a sauce of melted butter, sieved hard-boiled eggs, and fresh parsley. Simple, seasonal, and utterly sublime.
