Jean Louis Nomicos is celebrating the return of the sunny season with an ambassador of charm, dressed in white, green or violet: asparagus.
 “I chose asparagus because it reminds me of my roots, growing up in the South of France. In the spring I loved searching for asparagus in fields the were bordered by olive trees. Aspargus grew wild and was really delicate and tasty. My mother used to cook aspargus in omelettes or poach and then dress it with a little olive oil.
To cook asparagus, you must first peel it carefully with a paring knife to remove the hard, bitter skin. Tie the asparagus together into a bunch cook it in boiling salty water. When done, cool it down in icy water. Serve with a mustard vinaigrette or a sauce mousseline.
Asparagus is also delicious sliced thinly and added to a salad with shaved parmigiano reggiano and dressed with balsamic vinegar
