Asparagus in aluminum foil cooked with turkey fillets and basil rocket pesto

Spring is here! At the temperatures you really get the appetite for light food. And since I'm a big fan of vegetables, I was really happy when I bought the first German asparagus today.

I love asparagus and once I ventured on a fine pesto with vegetables. Sure, the classic hollandaise is great, but with pesto asparagus can really be seen. As a side dish I have grilled turkey fillet and a rocket salad with strawberry.

I always prepare asparagus in the oven, wrapped in aluminum foil, so it retains the great flavor.

Ingredients

For the asparagus cooked in aluminum foil you need:
• 500 g Asparagus
• tin foil
• 2 EL Butter salt Sugar
• For the pesto you need: 1 Bund Basil
• approx.Peel the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. For the asparagus packets, fold two large pieces of aluminum foil twice and spread 4 asparagus stalks on each. Spread the butter in little flakes, salt and sugar on the asparagus and add a few basil leaves. Close the packets and cook for 25 - 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus spears.

Season the turkey fillets with salt and pepper and fry them on both sides in a grill pan.

Cut the strawberries into thin slices. Make a dressing with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and honey and serve with the rocket and strawberries.
