Peel and clean the asparagus and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Cover and cook the asparagus with 30 g butter, 2 tablespoons water, salt and a pinch of sugar in a well-closing saucepan for about 15-20 minutes until al dente. Possibly add a little water every now and then. After cooking, stir in the sweet cream and chopped parsley.
Tip: This asparagus variant also goes well with thin pancakes.
