2. Add sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds to the pan during the last minute of cooking.
3. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately plunge it into cold water to stop the cooking process.
4. Boil the new potatoes in water until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
5. Chop the hard-boiled egg into small pieces.
6. In a pan over medium heat, brown the butter until it develops a rich nutty aroma, taking care not to let it burn.
