Preparation
➊ Wash and roughly chop the spinach. Peel the white asparagus and cut off the ends. Then simmer in salted water with 1 pinch of sugar and lemon zest for about 12 minutes and drain. Peel the bottom third of the green asparagus and cut off the ends; it does not need to be pre-cooked.
➋ Heat the grill to approx. 180 °C and equip with a griddle, or use a pan. Add some clarified butter to the hot griddle and briefly grill the white and green asparagus all around. First, place the spinach in a fireproof dish, season with salt and pepper, then arrange the white and green asparagus spears alternately on top and also season with pepper.
➌ Distribute butter flakes on top and sprinkle everything with the mountain cheese. Close the grill lid and grill for approx. 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
