Asparagus casserole

It is asparagus time! 

I always look forward to this time of the year because I can stuff myself with asparagus. Although it is quite a shame that you can't eat it all year round but it makes you appreciate the time that you can get hold of the asparagus even more. Asparagus is fat free, cholesterol free, sodium free and an excellent source of vitamin C. So today I wanted to show this really simple and super delicious recipe to make asparagus casserole for 3-4 people: 

Ingredients: 1 kg of Asparagus, half a lemon, 200 gr. ham, 1-2 packs of hollandaise sauce, 200 gr. of grated cheese, chives, 1kg of precooked potatoes, salt, pepper and sugar

1. Step: Peel the asparagus and cut off the hard woody ends. Then cut them into smaller pieces. Pour approximately 1-1.5 liters into a big pot and put the lemon and some salt and sugar into the water. This will help to lessen the bitterness of the asparagus. Now let it cook for 20 minutes. 

2.Step: While the asparagus is cooking cut the precooked potatoes, ham and chives and put it in a casserole form and mash everything together

3. Step: Pour the hollandaise sauce into the casserole form you can also add some cheese, pepper and salt into the mixture

4.Step: The final step is to mix the cooked asparagus into the casserole as well and top it off with a lot of cheese. Now place it in the oven on 200°C and bake it for about 20-25 minutes

The final result should look a bit like this. Enjoy your meal!
