Asparagus with Hollandaise image

Blanched asparagus is served with an easy blender-made Hollandaise sauce and a sprinkle of cayenne for a little heat.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper plus more for sprinkling (optional)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Hold both ends of a stalk of asparagus and bend it until it snaps. Then use a knife to trim the remainder of the bunch to match. Discard the trimmed stems.
  • Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook, uncovered, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, put the egg yolk, lemon juice and cayenne in a blender. Pulse a couple times to combine.
  • Put the butter in a small microwave proof bowl and heat in a microwave until just melted. With the blender running, gradually add the melted butter into the egg to make a smooth frothy sauce. If the sauce is really thick blend in a teaspoon of lukewarm water to loosen it up.
  • Transfer the asparagus to a plate. Pour the sauce over the top of the asparagus, sprinkle with more cayenne if desired and serve right away.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of hollandaise sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was light and lemony, and it didn't overpower the asparagus.
