This recipe comes to us courtesy of Diana Burkel from the Wrzhaus restaurant in Nuremberg Serves two: 2 eggs, broken into 2 small bowls 1 pot with boiling, very sour vinegar water 1 pot with boiling, very salty water 1 tbs. poppy seed -- whole, not ground! 1 tbs. butter to season: pepper Asparagus: 4 spears of peeled white asparagus, cut diagonally into pieces 1 sprig of rosemary 1 garlic close to season: salt, sugar, pepper, olive oil Salad: 2 spears of peeled white asparagus, cut in thin slices 2 spears of green asparagus, cut in thin slices 3 radishes, cut in thin slices 1 bunch of chives, cut coarsely into 2-centimeter lengths 1 handful of mixed cress to season: vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper Method Swirl the boiling vinegar water to create an eddy, then slip the eggs into it quickly. Let them solidify for a minute, then move them to the salt water and cook another 2 minutes. Remove and let them drip off. Heat and lightly roast the poppy seed in the foaming butter. Sear the pieces of asparagus and flavor with rosemary and garlic. Seaspon with salt, sugar, and pepper. Mix the thin slices of vegetables, season lightly, and mix with just a little vinegar and oil. Drape the seared asparagus on the plate. Use it as the foundation for the poached egg and top with poppy butter. Then place the salad loosely on top.
