I love asparagus! I am therefore overjoyed when asparagus season arrives. One of the first asparagus recipes of the season is invariably the asparagus à la flamande on the menu. This Flemish classic is still one of my favourites and ideal to experiment with. I get to work with olive oil, black pepper and sea salt flakes from Falksalt. Simple. Delicious!
We have this long pepper from Java in the range of our online spice shop. Apart from bringing some spice (less than traditional pepper), this long pepper from Java mainly adds a lot of aroma to your dishes. This pepper develops tasty aromas of violet, liquorice and resin. This is makes it an ideal pepper to go with desserts, such as this chocolate pudding.
If you are looking for inspiration for an ultra-delicious and original appetiser for your guests, I can definitely recommend the Tuna Shichimi Togarashi(Japanese blend of herbs and spices) with mango salsa. It is in itself a simple and quick-prepared dish that you can also easily prepare in advance and still spend time with your guests. The Shichimi Togarashi spices come from our spice shop.
