Nutritional values

The intensely tasting tarragon stimulates digestion through the tannins and bitter substances. The asparagus stalks contain the fiber inulin - which brings a prebiotic effect and ensures a balanced intestinal flora, which in turn improves the absorption of nutrients in the intestine. Cooking in parchment is a low-calorie and light cooking method - ideal for slimming cuisine.

If you want to vary, you can also use green asparagus instead of white or Pecorino instead of Parmesan.

Preparation steps

1.

Prepare 4 sheets of baking paper or parchment (about 16" x 16"). Peel asparagus, cut off woody ends and spread it on the paper. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 tsp each honey and oil. Close paper into parcels and tie with kitchen twine.

2.

Place the packets on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C / 400 ˚F for about 20-25 minutes.

3.

Meanwhile, wash tarragon, shake dry, set aside 4 stems, pluck the remaining leaves and chop. Grate Parmesan cheese. Mix chopped tarragon with Parmesan and breadcrumbs.

4.

Remove packets from oven, open carefully and add breadcrumbs-parmesan mix on top. Bake open packets in oven for another 5 minutes until golden brown. Garnish with tarragon stems.
