Focaccia
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and mix with the flour, salt and herbs to form a dough. Cover with a cloth and leave to rise for 1 hour.
Knead the dough well, shape into the desired form and brush lightly with olive oil. Cover the dough again and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 220°C and bake the focaccia for approx. 30 minutes.
When the focaccia has cooled a little, cut into pieces and top with the farmer's ham.
Asparagus
Peel the asparagus and remove the woody end. Bring the water, white wine, sugar, salt, lemon and butter to the boil in a pan and cook the asparagus in the stock for 5 minutes.
Just before serving, sprinkle the asparagus with Parmesan cheese and chives and pour hot butter over them.
Hollandaise sauce
Make a reduction from the white wine, vinegar, bay leaf and shallot.
Whisk the 4 egg yolks with this reduction in a bowl over a bain-marie and season with lemon juice and soya sauce.
Then slowly pour in the melted butter in a flowing stream, stirring constantly. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
