500 gm green asparagus, cleaned
OR
500 gm cooked asparagus from a tin
4 slices cooked ham
4 slices cheese (emmental or other, even processed cheese)
grated cheese, optional
Bechamel sauce, enough to partially cover the rolls
Boil green asparagus for a short time so that they remain green and firm OR drain the asparagus from the tin. Keep the water.
Make the bechamel sauce with butter, wheat flour, some of the water from the tin or from boiling the asparagus and half cup milk or cream.
Make 4 rolls by wrapping the asparagus first in the slices of cooked ham, then in the cheese slices.
Butter an oven-proof dish, pour a bit of the bechamel sauce into the dish, sprinkle some grated cheese on top of the sauce, then place the rolls evenly in the dish. Sprinkle the rest of the grated cheese on top of the rolls, pour the rest of the bechamel sauce over them. Bake at 170 deg. C. for 30 to 40 mins till the top is slightly browned.
Recipe good for two. Serve with plain rice.
