Preparation of the asparagus: In a large pot, bring 4 liters of salted water to a boil. Immerse the asparagus in it. Let them cook on high heat for 6 to 7 minutes. Place the asparagus in a bowl filled with cold water and ice for 4 minutes. Put them in a strainer.

Sauce preparation: In a bowl, add salt, pepper, mustard, and vinegar. Whisk well, then gradually add the oil like making mayonnaise.

    Simple, quick. I didn't have sherry vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar, but it was lacking some zing! I will make this recipe again, but this time with sherry vinegar.

    I am making this recipe that seems good to me, but I have two problems: - Cooking white asparagus: 15-20 minutes; otherwise, it's inedible. - Cooking "poached" eggs in "lemon water," then peeling them?! Do we cook them with or without the shell?!

    Which vinegar should we use, sherry vinegar or white vinegar?
