Crispy Asparagus Tips

Preparation

Wash and cut the asparagus leaving about 10/15 cm of stem. Boil them in salted water for 8 minutes, then immerse them in ice-cold water for a few seconds until cool and then dab them with a cloth to dry.

Meanwhile, mix the breadcrumbs, adding chopped parsley and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a fork until frothy but not whipped. Then dip the asparagus, first in the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Finally, fry them in plenty of boiling oil until golden, then drain, salt and serve hot and crispy.

*extra tip: prepare a homemade mayonnaise to accompany the crispy tips for a guaranteed success!
