preparation
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stir water in one direction with a spoon or spatula. Crack an egg into a separate bowl, and pour the egg from the bowl into the water. Repeat for another egg.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but not the yolks; fish them out.
- Heat water in a bowl and cook the asparagus for 4 - 5 minutes or until tender. Leave aside to cool. Saute the garlic for 2 - 3 minutes, season with salt and pepper, and add dill and lemon juice.
- Distribute asparagus in 4 plates, add 2 eggs on top, and pour the garlic sauce. Garnish with Parmesan and serve. Alternatively, you can serve the poached eggs with yogurt and crumbled feta on top.
