Preparation

How to prepare Asparagus Rolls

To prepare the asparagus rolls, start by cleaning them. Rinse and dry them with a clean towel 1, then cut off the white and woody base 2 and use a vegetable peeler to remove the more fibrous part of the stem 3.

Submerge them in a pot full of boiling salted water, letting them cook for 5 minutes 4. When ready, drain them into a bowl of ice water 5 and leave them for a minute: this will stop the cooking and the color won't fade 6.

Now unroll the phyllo dough and use only two sheets, overlap them 7, and by cutting with a smooth-bladed knife, you will get 16 rectangles of the same size 8, stack them ready for use 9.

Drain the asparagus and dry them well with absorbent paper or a clean towel 10, then place the first asparagus on the phyllo sheet 11 and wrap it 12.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 13 and continue with all the others 14. Bake them in a preheated static oven at 392°F, for about 15 minutes 15.

You have time to prepare the three accompanying sauces. Divide the mayonnaise into 3 small bowls 16. Proceed in this order. In the first bowl, add the zest of a lime and the juice of half 17 and mix 18.

Repeat the process for the other two bowls, adding curry powder to one 19, and a pinch of chili powder to the other 20. You have everything, now all that's left is to group the slightly warmed asparagus rolls and accompany them with the 3 sauces 21!

Storage

The asparagus rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for one day, but keep in mind that the texture will change!

Freezing is not recommended.

Tip

You can decide to prepare your own Fake mayonnaise without eggs to customize and accompany your asparagus rolls! For a richer version, you can wrap the asparagus in a slice of bacon.
