Preparation Wash and boil the potatoes for 15 to 20 m. Remove the harder outer parts of the asparagus and steam them for 10 to 12 m. Wash the eggs and boil them for 8 minutes. Cool and peel them. Peel the potatoes still hot. Blend half of them with the beetroot, a pinch of salt and a handful of coriander. You will now have first two dense creamy mixtures.

The third mixture: Grate the carrot and mix it with half the Ricotta cheese, a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix well and put everything together in a bowl and put aside.

The fourth mixture is made with the rest of the Ricotta cheese and parsley, sage, rosemary and marjoram, a pinch of salt and a little extra virgin olive oil. Mix well until it becomes smooth.

The fifth mixture is made from the egg yolks mashed with a fork and mixed with the goat cheese, a pinch of salt and a level teaspoon of mustard. Mix well until you have a smooth creamy mixture.

Using a confectioner's bag or the like, stuff the eggs with the mixtures alternating creamy mixtures of different colours and arrange them on a tray. Use the left-over mixtures to decorate sandwiches.
