  • Remove the shell from the egg and force the egg through a sieve with medium sized holes.
  • Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Toss the asparagus in the dressing and plate it, topping it with the remaining dressing and the egg and garnish with the parsley.
