🥣 Silky Asparagus Cream with Crispy Ham
White asparagus is a diuretic treasure. This cream is the perfect solution for an elegant dinner that helps cleanse your system. The key lies in prolonged blending and passing through a strainer to achieve a texture worthy of fine dining.
🥦 Purifying Properties
- Toxin Elimination: Its high water and potassium content fights fluid retention.
- Low Glycemic Index: Perfect for those monitoring their blood sugar levels.
- Gourmet Touch: Iberian ham provides the umami and necessary protein.
📝 Preparation Details
- Leek Preparation: Sauté the white part of the leek in EVOO until transparent, avoiding browning too much to keep the cream light.
- Base Cooking: Add the diced potato and broth. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes.
- The Star: If the asparagus is fresh, peel it carefully and cut off the hard base. Add to the pot and cook 8 minutes more.
- Emulsion: Add the evaporated milk (which provides creaminess with less fat than heavy cream) and blend at maximum power for 3 minutes.
- Silky Texture: Pass the cream through a fine mesh strainer or chinois to remove any asparagus fiber.
- The Crunch: Toast the ham in a skillet without oil until rigid. Chop finely and add just before serving.
A comforting, light dinner full of flavor.
