Asparigus with Hollandaise Sauce

Fresh springtime asparagus and classic Hollandaise sauce. You’d expect to pay a kings ransom for it in a prestigious restraint but you can have it at home when asparagus in season, for a fraction of the price because, once you’ve mastered Hollandaise Sauce, this recipe is a no-brainer.

5 or 6 spears of asparagus per person

half a lemon
