Asparagus Appetizer (Spargel Appetitihappen)

Liechtensteiner asparagus appetizer called spargel appetithappen was a classy way to begin our meal. Asparagus grows along the upper Rhine River Valley and although seasonal, some top restaurants put out entire menu’s in honor of the loved vegetable. These little treats were rye bread, (another staple in Liechtenstein) topped with cream cheese that was flavored with dill, capers and a bit of lemon. The star of the canapes were the perfectly cooked al-dente asparagus tips that were wrapped in some smoked salmon. An upscale little appetizer, that would be lovely for any occasion.
