Step-by-step
- Finely chop the garlic, the sprig of rosemary and put in a small bowl with the egg yolk and anchovies.
- In a small pan warm the milk taking it off just before it simmers. Pour over the anchovies and blitz with a stick blender. Pour in the olive oil very slowly until you have a nice creamy dressing. This sauce can be finished with a little double cream (50mls).
- Place eggs in pan of cold water. Bring water up to the boil and then boil for 4 ½ minutes, drain and cool quickly in cold water.
- In a separate pan put the asparagus in enough boiling water to cover it bring back up to boil and cook for no more than 1 ½ minutes, drain the run under cold water, dry thoroughly.
