Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green asparagus (450 g)
- 2 tsp capers in brine
- 1 small fresh lemon sliced
- 1 medium egg hard-boiled, sliced (optional)
- fresh parsley
- olive oil
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Trim the woody ends off of the asparagus and discard those. Place them on parchment or baking paper. You can make 2 individual parcels if you like. Top with some slices of lemon, some fresh parsley, the capers and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with a pinch of pepper and salt.
-
Fold the paper and make a parcel. Place it in the large steamer basket of the KitchenAid Cook Processor.
-
Fill the bowl of the KitchenAid Cook Processor with 3 cups (720 ml) of water and place the steamer basket on top. Close with the plastic lid. Select Steam P1 and press start to activate the program. Once done, carefully remove the steamer basket (watch out, the steam is very hot) and let the asparagus cool for 2 minutes. Then open the parcel using a pair of scissors. Sprinkle the asparagus with extra olive oil (I added some sliced hard-boiled egg as well) and serve.
