I have presented good right? Then notice the chatter I’m coming to the recipe that I designed and made a few days ago to use up the last of the wonderful oranges tarot that the season has to offer.

Wash asparagus, remove the white part of the most ‘hard (about 2 cm) and steam cook for 10 minutes. Check with a fork cooking, must be just a little ‘soft but still very consistent. Season with salt. In the meantime prepare the compound for the gratin: Mix the bread, citrus zest, pepper and chopped a pinch of salt.
Place the asparagus in a baking dish, prepare separate a sauce consisting of orange juice, lemon juice and a tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle the asparagus. Sprinkle the asparagus with a generous layer of the prepared gratin
