A fricassée of snails with wild garlic and green asparagus cream. A recipe inspired by a photo of a dish. He offers a pea cream; I opted for a green asparagus cream also flavored with wild garlic. A warm and refined starter that was very well received.

 1 Wild garlic in oil
 1 Green asparagus
 5 Sour cream
 Salt
 Wild garlic flowers and leaves
 2 Wild garlic in oil

Green asparagus cream: Cut off the ends of the asparagus, which are tough. Steam the asparagus, being careful to monitor the cooking closely. They should be just tender. Set aside 6 asparagus tips and chop the rest into pieces. Sauté the chopped shallot in a little olive oil. Add the chopped asparagus and 1 teaspoon of wild garlic in olive oil. Mix well. Place the asparagus in a blender. Then add a little cooking broth. Blend while incorporating the cream and a piece of butter to achieve a very smooth consistency. Then check the seasoning. Set aside.
