🧂 Ingredients

1 Trim and wash the asparagus, place in the steamer, sprinkle with a very little
salt and steam for about 12 minutes or until tender.
2 Make the hollandaise sauce; you may prefer to make this sauce after you have
prepared the asparagus and before starting to cook it, so neither will be kept
waiting for long. While the asparagus is cooking beat the cream until fairly
stiff and fold into the hollandaise sauce.
3 As soon as the asparagus is done, take it carefully out of the steamer and
transfer to heated plates. Spoon some of the mousseline sauce over the asparagus
tips and serve at once, handing round the remaining sauce separately.
