Peel the asparagus thoroughly. Bring the water to a boil with salt, sugar and quince juice. Add the peels and simmer for a few minutes on low heat. Strain the liquid and allow it to cool. Place the asparagus in a vacuum bag and add the liquid. Seal the bag and cook the asparagus in a steam oven at 80C for 12-15 minutes. Cut the asparagus as instructed by your chef and keep the liquid for the green pea foam.

Remove the peas from their pods. Bring well salted water to a boil and cook the peas for 1 minute, then cool them quickly in cold water. Put a few green beans aside for garnish and place the remaining beans in a juicer along with the pea shoots and the pods from the peas. Mix and strain the juice, then leave the juice cold in a saucepan. Just before serving: Brin the juice quickly to a boil, add the butter and some of the asparagus liquid to taste. Season with salt. Use a hand blender to make a foam with the lecithin.
