Steps:
- First, make the mayonnaise. In a food processor, add the whole olives, egg yolks, vinegar, mustard and anchovy, and blend until you have a smooth paste. Slowly add the oil until it becomes thick and glossy. To finish, stir through the chopped olives, lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
- Next, in a pan over a low heat, warm the clarified butter until it melts. Put the flour, beaten eggs and brioche crumbs into three separate bowls. Dip the asparagus stem into the flour, leaving the tip uncovered, then dip it into the beaten egg and finally into the brioche crumbs. Repeat for each spear.
- Turn up the heat until the melted butter is hot. Add four spears of asparagus and fry for 1 min or so - it will cook quickly. Use a slotted spoon to lift them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining spears. After each batch comes out of the butter, grate over the Parmesan. Serve with the mayo.

Tips:
- Select the best asparagus: Look for spears that are firm and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have woody ends.
- Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus thoroughly and snap off the tough ends. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Use high-quality olive oil, oranges, and herbs.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to cook asparagus. Try different recipes and find the ones that you like best.
Conclusion:
Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its bright green color and slightly bitter flavor, asparagus is a perfect addition to salads, stir-fries, soups, and pasta dishes. It can also be grilled, roasted, or steamed. No matter how you choose to cook it, asparagus is a healthy and flavorful vegetable that is sure to please everyone at your table.
