Onions à la asparagus

How to make it

1. 1

   The onions are cleaned, washed and freed of the outer leaves.

2. 2

   Boil until tender and looking translucent (test with a fork whether it slides easily right into the centre).

3. 3

   1 heaped teaspoon of salt per litre of water; it should be boiling briskly when the onions are put in.

4. 4

   Serve like asparagus, piping hot with a napkin on the dish. Cold, whipped butter in a glass bowl alongside.
