Lamb not only provides us with a good portion of high-quality protein, but also with a lot of iron. The body needs the trace element for blood formation and oxygen transport, among other things. Asparagus scores with a lot of folic acid - this vitamin is also involved in blood formation.

If goat's cream cheese is too spicy for you, you can also replace the milk product with cow's milk cream cheese. Instead of white asparagus, the dish also tastes good with the green variant. Then not only is the cooking time reduced, but the folic acid content of green asparagus is even higher than that of white asparagus.

Preparation steps

1.

Peel the asparagus and cut off woody ends. Cut asparagus into 3 cm (approximately 1 inch) long pieces.

2.

Rinse the mint, shake dry and chop the leaves.

3.

Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water for 20 minutes.

4.

Meanwhile, rinse lamb fillets in cold water, pat dry and wrap each around a small amount of the cream cheese and secure with wooden skewers. Season the fillets with pepper.

5.

Heat oil in a pan. Cook the meat over high heat for around 2-3 minutes. Wrap in foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (convection oven 160°C; gas mark 2-3) (approximately 350°F, 325°F convection) until finished, about 5-6 minutes.

6.

Cook the noodles in boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente.

7.

Meanwhile, drain the asparagus and collect about 250 ml (approximately 1 cup) of the cooking liquid. Rinse, trim and quarter the strawberries.

8.

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Sauté the flour over medium heat for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and asparagus broth while stirring and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, lime juice and mint.

9.

Drain the pasta.

10.

Add the asparagus to the sauce and warm through, then mix in the strawberries. Distribute the vegetables with pasta in shallow bowls. Serve topped with the lamb skewers.
