For many years I was very lucky to live next to a small, charming town, that is known for two things: Mozart's concerts when he was a little boy, and for cultivating asparagus. Schwetzingen in South-West Germany is called - Asparagus Capital of the World (Spargel Hauptstadt der Welt). Since Spring until Summer, spargel is sold everywhere in Schwetzingen and nearby places; on streets, next to grocery stores or straight from the farms. End of asparagus season is finished with crowning a "Spargel Queen".
Asparagus comes in three different colors: white, green and purple. Today's side dish is very yummy, but absolutely nothing fancy and extremely easy to make. You will only need green asparagus, sesame seeds, olive oil and Parmesan cheese. 20 minutes cooking/roasting time, and pretty looking veggies showing all kinds of green will lay on a plate encouraging you try them.
Ingredients for 2 -4 people:
