Description
First, trim the asparagus spears (keeping the most tender tops for garnish), then boil them until al dente: they should be crisp. The sauce is prepared in the same way as béchamel, but without gluten and animal fats. It’s a rare case where a dish suitable for any dietary guideline also looks enticing. Coconut milk can be substituted with almond or soy milk if the garlic flavor combined with coconut and almond is off-putting.
