Ingredients

  • 400 g baby carrots
  • 400 g white asparagus
  • 2 shallots
  • 400 g chanterelles
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 150 ml Vegetable broth
  • Salt
  • pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 100 ml whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 eggs
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel and trim the carrots, leaving a bit of green. Peel the lower third of the asparagus and cut into 3-4 cm pieces. Peel the shallots and slice them into half-moons. Clean the chanterelles thoroughly. Sauté the shallots, carrots, and asparagus in hot butter for 1‑2 minutes. Deglaze with broth, season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer gently for about 8 minutes. Add the chanterelles and continue cooking uncovered for another ~5 minutes until tender. Stir in cream and parsley, taste and adjust seasoning.

  2. 2.

    Bring about 1 L of water to a boil, add vinegar, then remove from heat. Crack each egg into a cup and carefully slide it into the vinegar‑water mixture. Poach for 4‑5 minutes (the water should not boil again). Remove with a slotted spoon, place on top of the ragout, garnish with parsley, and serve.
