Asparagus Florentine

Submitted by: Tiffiny Trump-Humbert 
I am a native Missourian living near Frankfurt, Germany with my husband, Ralf. I've had to learn how to adapt recipes because I can't always get ingredients here that I could easily find back home. When I'm making this recipe in spring, I use mild white asparagus, which is a German delicacy. It's just as good with green, however, --Tiffiny Trump-Humbert, Rauheim, Germany
