Creamed asparagus with cream and chives is a simple vegetable dish prepared like a traditional Slovak prívarok, a thick vegetable stew. Green asparagus is cut into pieces, cooked in salted water, and thickened with a light roux made from butter and all-purpose flour. Heavy whipping cream mixed with an egg yolk is stirred in at the end, then the mixture is brought to a boil and sprinkled with chopped chives. Serve with fresh bread.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cut the thawed asparagus into small pieces, cover with boiling water, add salt, and cook until tender.
Make a light roux with the butter and flour, stir it into the cooked asparagus, and simmer briefly.
Whisk the egg yolk into the cream and pour the mixture into the asparagus. Bring to a boil, then stir in the chopped chives.

Tip: Add the asparagus tips to the water a little later than the chopped stalks, as they are more delicate and would overcook before the stalks soften.
