At the table with Lucie Kitchen Hacks - Asparagus
Every spring it starts anew - the asparagus season, and with it the passion for the royal vegetable. There are numerous asparagus-growing regions in Germany, including the Altmark. This is where Axel Tinneberg runs his farm and dedicates himself to the demanding cultivation of asparagus. From the laborious planting to harvesting and processing. But what is the difference between white and green asparagus? Why is Germany considered the number one asparagus nation? And why did the Catholic Church temporarily ban the vegetable from the dining halls of numerous monasteries? German-French chef Lucie presents two asparagus classics in a new guise: a creamy hollandaise sauce and an original asparagus sandwich - pure enjoyment for asparagus lovers
