Cream (any) | 250 ml |

Step cooking
- First, put in a small bowl a pinch of saffron and pour it 1 tbsp. l drinking hot water. So saffron will give its color and flavor. He must stand, so for now set him aside. Place a wide pan on the stove. Its width should be greater than the length of your asparagus so that the vegetable fits completely, and it was "not crowded." Water needs to be gained in height in a palm from the bottom (then the vegetables will boil and not interfere with each other).
- Peel the carrots and rinse them under running water. Then cut it in half along, and then divide it into halves again. That is, from one carrot you should get 4 long quarters. However, if the carrots are very thick, then you can make more parts, the main thing is that they coincide in length with the asparagus.
- As soon as the water boils, put the carrots in boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes. Salt water to taste (1 tsp. Per 1 liter of water).
- Asparagus also needs to be peeled. To do this, trim the thick white edges, because they are practically not edible. Then peel the stems with a peeler. Cones do not need to be cut off - they are eaten.
- When the asparagus has been peeled, add it to the carrots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the thickness and "youth" of the shoots). Asparagus should not be digested, it should crunch a little. Therefore, it is better not to digest than to digest.
- Many cooks recommend putting asparagus in cold water after boiling water. You too can do this, or you can just put it on an open dish. At this time, put a frying pan (wide) on the fire and pour olive oil (3-4 tbsp. L.). Put the boiled vegetables on a well-heated oil and fry until light golden brown.
- You can also make the sauce at this time. Put the stewpan on the fire and pour in 250 ml of cream (any from 10 to 33%).
- Pour in the cream the real saffron. Stir with a silicone spatula.
- Grate the parmesan cheese on a fine grater and pour half into the sauce. Mix thoroughly and wait until it evaporates a little and thickens. Then remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce onto the dish, put the asparagus and carrots on top, and then sprinkle it all over with the remaining parmesan. That's all! Enjoy the unusual taste and crazy aromas!
