Fresh asparagus with apple butter and soft-boiled egg

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

6 free-range eggs
2/3 cup Pink Lady apple sauce
100 g butter
2 sprigs thyme
500 g fresh organic asparagus, peeled
Fresh limes, for serving
Maldon salt, to season

Cooking Instructions

Place the eggs in a saucepan and submerge in cold water. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes, then remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the eggs to rest in the water for a further minute.

Peel the eggs and set aside. In a separate saucepan, heat the apple sauce, butter and thyme. In yet another saucepan, boil the asparagus in salted water for 4 to 5 minutes, or until just tender.

Drain, then arrange on serving plates and spoon over the apple butter. Top with soft-boiled egg halves, a squeeze of fresh lime and a scattering of Maldon salt.

Cook's note: Jars of Pink Lady apple sauce are available at Woolworths.
